Belgium take on Slovakia in their Group C meeting on Monday evening as they pair look to kick off Euro 2024 with a win. They lock horns at the Frankfurt Arena and will look to capitalise on the result between Romania and Ukraine earlier in the day.
The Golden Generation of yesteryear has come and gone for the Red Devils, and the defence isn't as strong as it once was. Thibaut Courtois isn't with the squad, while Jan Vertonghen, Arthur Theate and Thomas Meunier are all doubts ahead of their meeting with Slovakia
However, Belgium are still strong in the final third. Romelu Lukaku is expected to lead the charge on Monday evening with Kevin De Bruyne and Leandro Trossard of Manchester City and Arsenal, respectively, in support. Johan Bakayoko and Lois Openda are further options in reserve.
Slovakia are expected to try their best to frutrate Belgium in Frankfurt and have a number of household names to hold the Red Devils at bay. Milan Skriniar, David Hancko and Stanislav Lobotka all ply their trade for PSG, Feyenoord and Napoli, respectively, though Skriniar's centre-back partner - Denis Vavro - will need assessing.
