Israel v Belgium
Sunday 19:45
(Live on Premier Player)

In Freiburg last night, Germany thrashed Bosnia 7-0 and Havertz got his goal to give us a nice winner.

We finish the week in Budapest, which is hosting Israel's Group A2 Nations League game with Belgium. These are the group's bottom two. Whoever finishes bottom is automatically relegated; whoever comes in third faces a relegation playoff. Three points ahead at the moment, Belgium just need a draw to secure that playoff...

Since beating Israel 3-1 in Hungary in September, Belgium have gone W0-D1-L3 - only avoiding defeat to a ten-man Italy. Nevertheless, Domenico Tedescho's men are big favourites to win this one - and that's despite missing the likes of De Bruyne, Tielemans and Doku.

Israel earnt their first point of the campaign with a 0-0 draw in France on Thursday. Prior to that, they had at least scored in all four of their Group A2 defeats. Going back to 2020, they have netted in 9/10 Nations League games.

Tonight, the Israelis need to win to stand a chance of avoiding relegation, so we'd hope to see them on the front foot at some point. They're up against a Belgium outfit that hasn't kept a clean sheet through the first five rounds of Group A2, so we'll back both teams to score at the Bozsik Arena.
