Belgium must bounce back in their second game at Euro 2024 to keep their hopes of progressing to the knockout stages alive.
The Red Devils were beaten by Slovakia in the first real upset of the tournament earlier this week and now need to show what they’re really made of.
Kevin De Bruyne and co are fourth in Group E with zero points, with a win needed to potentially move into the top two and the automatic qualification spots.
A draw could also be enough to qualify but that would leave their final game of the group as a win-or-go-home scenario.
But another loss would see them sent packing and they come up against a tough Romania side who made a statement with a dominant win over Ukraine in their opener.

Belgium vs Romania: What has been said?
Belgium’s Tielemans has called for his side to be ‘vigilant’ ahead of their must-win second game at Euro 2024.
Tielemans said: “We have to keep shooting and hope that the ball will go in the next time.
“We have to remain as calm as possible in front of goal. There has been no extra training, we just have to make the right decisions in Romania’s box.
“They will play very compactly and try to take advantage of our mistakes. We have to be vigilant about that.
“We know what we have to do. There was a lot of frustration [after the Slovakia game], but that’s football. We now have to show character.”
