Our prediction for this Euro 2024 match:
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Austria, Belgium will be aiming to return to winning ways in EURO 2024 qualifiers when they face Estonia in Tallinn on Tuesday. The Red Devils are still without Man City ace Kevin De Bruyne, who has been ruled out with injury and, in his absence, all eyes will be on Inter striker Romelu Lukaku, who scored the equalizer in Saturday’s clash. Leipzig target Lois Openda is widely expected to start against Estonia.
The former Soviet Republic, on the other hand, have collected only one point in total in the process and they face an uphill task against Belgium. In their last encounter in Tallinn Belgium hammered Estonia 5-2 and, taking everything into account, anything but a routine away win would be a big surprise. Estonia boss Haberli is likely to stick to the 5-3-2 formation after his men shared the spoils with Azerbaijan (1-1).

Highlighted Team (Estonia):
Former Soviet republic Estonia declared its independence on August 20, 1991 and they have been participating in FIFA and UEFA competitions ever since. The Estonians have yet to make it to the finals of a major tournament, but they often made life difficult for European giants in the qualifiers.

Sergei Zenjov, who played for the likes of Blackpool, Karpaty and Torpedo Moscow in the past is one of the most famous Estonian footballers.
