In a stunning upset at the King Power at Den Dreef Stadion in Leuven, Belgium, the Belgium women's national team defeated England 3-2 in their UEFA Women's Nations League group stage match. The game, held on April 8, 2025, saw Belgium, playing in a 5-3-2 formation, defy pre-game predictions, securing a crucial victory against a favored England side that deployed a 4-2-3-1 setup. The AI model predicted an England win with a 53.9% probability, and an expected balanced game was not expected.
Tessa Wullaert was the star for Belgium, scoring twice in the 4th and 29th minutes, while Justine Vanhaevermaet added another in the 16th minute. England's goals came from Beth Mead via a penalty in the 35th minute and Michelle Agyemang in the 81st minute. Despite England dominating possession with 67.9% and unleashing 16 shots compared to Belgium's 5, they struggled to convert their chances, managing only 3 shots on target. Belgium, more clinical, converted 4 of their 5 shots on target.
The match was also marked by a high number of fouls, with England committing 12 and Belgium 11. The referee handed out 4 yellow cards to Belgium and 3 to England. Goalkeeping was relatively quiet, with both sides only registering 1 save each. This victory marks a significant turnaround for Belgium, who were thrashed 5-0 by England just four days prior. Their recent form has been shaky, with several losses in the UEFA Women's Nations League and friendly matches. This win could provide a much-needed confidence boost.
England, on the other hand, will be disappointed after their dominant performance in the previous encounter. While they have generally been in good form, with recent wins in the UEFA Women's Nations League, this loss highlights their vulnerability and potential issues in converting possession into goals. Considering previous head-to-head games, England had a clear dominance against Belgium until this match. The result is an important one in the context of the UEFA Women's Nations League, with implications for both teams as they approach their upcoming matches.

On April 8th, 2025, the King Power at Den Dreef Stadion in Leuven will host a UEFA Women's Nations League match between Belgium and England. AI is predicting an England victory, with a 53.9% win probability compared to Belgium's 22.5%, and a 23.6% chance of a draw. The AI's prediction is influenced by England's stronger team rating of 0.753 compared to Belgium's 0.467. England's recent form also supports this prediction, including a dominant 5-0 win against Belgium just days before.
The Lionesses, led by their captain Leah Williamson and the prolific striker Alessia Russo, are looking to continue their winning streak in the Nations League. Russo's clinical finishing and Williamson's commanding presence in defense are key to England's success. On the other hand, Belgium will be hoping to defy the odds and put on a strong performance in front of their home crowd. However, their recent results haven't been encouraging, with several losses in the Nations League. The Belgium team will rely on the creativity of midfielder Tessa Wullaert to create goal-scoring opportunities and try to stop England win as predicted by the AI.
