If Belgium tackled this year 2025 with a wind of renewal, Rudi Garcia, new coach, became aware of the importance of the site. For his first on the Belgian selection bench, the French technician lived a very delicate evening on Thursday. His teams did not have the resources to respond to the passion of Ukraine, a wide winner on his lawn in this first leg (3-1).
In an attempt to win its A-Ligue B league dam and go to the higher level in this competition, Belgium will therefore be obliged to sign a success with at least two goals apart, or even three. A major challenge for the start of Rudi Garcia's mandate. To achieve this, the Belgians will really need a Grand Thibaut Courtois, after the Real Madrid goalkeeper missed his return to selection on Thursday. The latter also has the particularity of recusing its lining among MerengueAndriy Lunin.
The expected compos
Belgium : Courteous; Castagne, Faes, Debast, de Cuyper; Tielemans, Vanaken; Saelemaekers, de Bruyne, Trossard; Lukaku.
Ukraine : Lunin; Konoplya, Zabarnyi, Matviyenko, Mykolenko; Shaparenko, Kalyuzhnyi, Zinchenko; Tsygankov, Sudakov; Vanat.
