Belgium and Romania do battle in an important showdown in Group E on Saturday 22nd June (8pm).
Belgium have been installed as the 1/2 favourites to bounce back from the Slovakia defeat with a much-needed victory, while in-form Romania are sure to attract interest at 13/2 to secure their second win on the spin, whereas a draw can be backed at 18/5.

Match Preview: Belgium vs Romania
Group E threw out two surprise results on Thursday after Romania stunned Ukraine 3-0, then Slovakia overcame group favourites Belgium 1-0.
It was a damaging result for Belgium, who headed into the tournament full of confidence after putting together a 15 game unbeaten run, which included a win over hosts Germany and a draw with pre-tournament favourites England. But despite having 60% of the ball, 16 shots, and two disallowed goals they simply couldn't find the breakthrough against a determined Slovakia, who scored the only goal of the game after just seven minutes.
The result puts pressure on Belgium this Saturday when they face early group pacesetters Romania. The Tricolours conjured up one of the performances of the opening round in a comprehensive 3-0 win over Ukraine, their first victory at a European Championship in 24 years. Romania were brilliant on the break and will no doubt ask questions of the Belgium defence this weekend.
This will be the first meeting between the countries in 12 years, with Romania overcoming Belgium 2-1 in the last clash back in 2012. Could a repeat outcome be on the cards?
The Best Betting Markets for Belgium vs Romania
Although up to three teams can qualify from a group, Belgium will be gunning to get back to winning ways on Saturday in order to improve their chances of finishing top and thus avoiding a potential last-16 showing against England, the Netherlands or France.
This is a side that aren't used to losing; the shock defeat to Slovakia was their first in over 18 months. However, they must now draw on their experience and put this disappointment behind them if they are to bounce back against Romania, who themselves looked very impressive in their 3-0 win over Ukraine.
In truth, Belgium were unfortunate not to score in their opening game. One of their disallowed goals, in particular, was very controversial. This team is filled with quality, and I expect them to return to wining ways against Romania, with a win and both teams to score bet looking promising at 23/10.
Romelu Lukaku, whose two goals were ruled out against Slovakia, is a decent price at 3/1 to open the scoring, while Romania skipper Nicolae Stanciu appeals at 6/1 to score for the second successive game this tournament.
