Belgium vs Slovakia at the Waldstadion will see Belgium's so-called 'Golden Generation' attempt to live up to their billing. With a squad that combines the experience of players like Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku with an injection of fresh talent, the signs are good for the Red Devils. Despite being unbeaten since Domenico Tedesco took charge in March 2023, Belgium are not considered a favourite for the tournament, but that could quickly change.
Slovakia will have their work cut out to advance from Group E, but they've now qualified for three European Championships in a row, so their tournament experience is growing. It's not the youngest squad – midfielder Juraj Kucka is 37 years old – but in Milan Skriniar, David Hancko, and Stanislav Lobotka there's undeniable quality in the side. However, one big question remains: where are the goals going to come from?
