Who Takes Second Spot In Group E?

Belgium won on Saturday to gain their first points of the tournament against Republic of Ireland whiles Sweden lost by a solitary goal against Italy. This has seen Italy qualify for the Round of 16 leaving Sweden and Belgium with an all-to-do game which would see them take the automatic spot in terms of qualifying for the Round of 16 by placing second.

The Euros is gradually gaining grounds in terms of elimination and qualification.

Wilmot and his team have finally joined the party and have recovered well from their sub-par performance against Italy. The likes of Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard seems to have gotten their rhythm back and the display they ushered out to football fans on Saturday was more than thrilling.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic looks to be the only Sweden player who is hungry for success. Their performance against Italy was great till the central defenders blew everything up leaving Sweden in a must win encounter against Belgium for an automatic spot in the Round of 16.

Bench to Win Points for Second Spot

The experience of the coaches Erick Hamren and Marc Wilmots would prove vital in this game. Belgium coach Wilmots has been criticized by many pundits for being too safe. Wilmots has also been criticized as being the Spain of old and just seems to have selected the best players to play without any strong tactics.

All of these would change when the two sides meet on Wednesday at the Allianz Rivera Stadium.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic seems to have a great desire to sign off from this year’s Euros on a high note and would be aiming for a win in order to put their destiny and qualification in their own hands.

The fans of Belgium were thrilled by the performance on Sunday and they have high hopes their golden generation would make them proud.

Italy against Republic of Ireland is also a game the world should look out for because a win for Ireland might see them advance as one of the four third placed teams in the group stages.
