Finland v Belgium Tips: Three bets for Group B finale

Belgium play Finland in the final match day of Group B.

Belgium were most definitely tested in their game against the Danes and questions were being asked throughout by many viewers if they had what it takes. They proved why they are backed by so many to go all the way!

Finland sit on 3 points with 2 1-0 results going either way. A win guarantees advancement in the tournament here a draw and a Denmark victory over Russia also sees progression into the next round. It is fair to which they may well that favour from the Danes. 

Belgium could possibly rotate many players here with having secured qualification and with Eden Hazard coming off the bench in Gameweek 2 and getting an assist I am expecting him to start here. If the former Chelsea attacker does start and Finland play their expected back 5 he will be directly up against Toivio which should lead to numerous tackling opportunities.

Reasoning for the tackles are given above but to further support the reasoning behind that bet, if Hazard does start, the last time he played against a back 5 the right sided CB made 3 tackles. With Belgium already through and Finland needing a win to be 100% through it should lead to a bit of attacking intent from them which raises the chances of Belgium goal kicks. 

With a Euros of so little cards being given out the 0 cards has potential here given that Belgium are already through and Finland aren’t necessarily a card happy side, despite picking up the 4 they have and with Belgium being already through, they may not play with that same intensity. Hence why I’ve backed Toivio to hit that passing line and as previously stated, Belgium goal kicks.
