Among the interesting matches in Friday's Nations League program is the one between Belgium and Israel. It should be noted that the match will be played in Hungary. Why is this important? Because several Belgian cities refused to host the meeting, which means that emotionally the duel is charged with more passion.
In the Belgium squad, only De Bruyne from the old generation of players is available. There is a process of generational change under the leadership of Domenico Tedesco. From this point of view, I expect that the Belgians will be motivated to win the match and show that the absence of figures like Leandro Trossard, Axel Witsel, Yannick Carrasco, Romelu Lukaku and Thibaut Courtois will not affect the overall quality of the team's game.
As for Israel, they have enough ambition in their squad, but it seems to me that there is no way Belgium's class will not have an impact and that the "Red Devils" will win.

Belgium disappointed at the European Championship, where they played four matches with under 2.5 goals. This was not expected considering their strong performance in the qualifiers. However, Belgium clearly needs improvement for more serious matches. Nevertheless, they remain a much better team than Israel and have had no problems with this opponent so far. The match, however, will be on neutral ground in Hungary, as the Belgian federation refuses to host Israel on their territory due to security measures.
Israel remains well below the level of Belgium, and their only recent victories were against teams like Belarus and Andorra. It has been a long time since they have won against any of the top teams on the Old Continent, and Israel's last victory against a top 10 team in the FIFA ranking was in 1998.
Prediction: Belgium to win and over 1.5 goalsAlthough the match will be on neutral ground, I expect Belgium to show that they are the better team.
