Prediction: 0-3
Belgium
After holding star-studded France to a goalless draw at Stade de France, Israel will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Belgium in the last group game. The Israelis welcome their rivals on a neutral location (Bozsik Arena, Budapest), which is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered. Defender Sagiv Jehezkel serves a one-game ban, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, are eager to put an end to their four-game winless run in the Nations League. As Belgium will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways, we are tempted to bet on Romelu Lukaku and Co. All Dodi Lukebakio, Johan Bakayoko, and Arthur Vermeeren are pushing for a start, while Man City ace Kevin De Bruyne has been omitted.
Highlighted Player (Romelu Lukaku):
Romelu Lukaku Bolingoli, born on 13th of ay 1993 is a Belgian player with roots form Congo. Lukaku played for several youth teams before he got picked up by RSC Anderlecht. After playing for only 2 seasons for Anderlecht Chelsea picked him up for around12 million euro.
Lukaku was never able to get a spot in the starting eleven of Chelsea and after playing for WBA he moved to Everton for approximately 35 million euro.Lukaku made his debut in February 2010 by the age of 16 and is one of the youngest players that player for the highest Belgian national team.
The biggest achievement of Lukakui is winning the Eerste klasse in Belgium and the English FA Cup. With his strength and goal scoring abilities Lukaku can be considered as one of the deadliest strikers of the world. Nicknames for Lukaku are Big Rom and the Tank.
Highlighted Team (Israel):
Israel are the direct successor of the Mandatory Palestine national football team. The Israelis received full UEFA membership in 1994, 20 years after leaving AFC and they have been facing European sides in the World Cup qualifiers ever since. Israel participated at the 1970 FIFA World Cup finals in Mexico, but they failed to make it to the knockout stages of the showpiece tournament.
The Israeli national football team have yet to qualify for the final stages of the European Championship, but they made it to the quarter-finals of the Olympics on two occasions (1968, 1976). Israel play their home games at both Sammy Ofer Stadium in Haifa and Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem.
Yossi Benayoun is the most famous and the most capped Israeli footballer and it has to be noted that the pacey midfielder played for the likes of Racing Santander, West Ham United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea in the past. Israel play their home games in blue shirts and blue shorts, whilst they wear white shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels.
