Cyprus vs Belgium Betting Tips

Posted On April 6, 2019

Belgium take on Cyprus in order to claim an second consecutive victory in group 1. After finishing third in the World Cup, Belgium went on a six-game unbeaten run but it was a major surprise to see the team beaten 5-2 in a match against Switzerland. This Nations League encounter would have been quickly forgotten with the team now looking to follow up on the 3-1 win over Russia, who have been quite disappointing when it comes to recent matches. Even though Belgium were without Lukaku, they were able to achieve a comfortable victory.

Meanwhile, Cyprus come into the game after sparkling in the first Euro 2020 qualification match. Cyprus were able to get a hands-on 5-0 victory over minnows San Marino and it was extremely important for the team to pick up this victory with back-to-back tough games coming up. After facing Belgium in the final qualifier in March, Cyprus will be in away matches against Scotland and Russia in June. There continues to be a long injury list for the Belgians due to the unavailability of players like Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne. However, the Hazard brothers have been forming a great partnership for the national team. Most of the players for the Cyprus national team from the domestic league and one of the key players to watch out for the team happens to be Pieros Sotiriou, who plays for FC Copenhagen.

There is also Grigoris Kastanos, who is a Juventus player, who has decent ability to come up with goals. Roberto Martinez has always been a manager who has tried to get the best out of his team in an offensive sense and Belgium have been able to come up with a lot of goals in recent times. The best bet would be to choose a Belgium win at both halves at 1.57.
