Although Belgium's 'Golden Generation' has almost aged out, the Red Devils still have enough class and quality to potentially make a deep run in the knockout stages.

Ukraine look dangerous as well, finishing third in their Euro qualification group.

Prediction: Belgium, Ukraine

- Alex Windley

Belgium might be the perceived favorites to go through as group winners thanks to the undoubted talent in their squad—although the standard is perhaps the lowest it has been for the last decade.

However, they've had a relatively weak run of opponents over the previous 24 months, which might cost them top spot.

Being relatively untested for big battles in recent times will be detrimental, especially in a group featuring a Romania team that went undefeated in qualifying and a Ukraine side that fought hard to make the tournament.

The latter finished third in a group that featured England and Italy and had to beat Iceland in the playoff final. That experience should serve them well in Germany, leading to a mild upset for Belgium.

Slovakia's second-place finish in qualifying looks impressive until you examine the quality of their opponents, and they won't see such good fortune this time around.

Meanwhile, Romania's stout defense won't make up for a lack of talent up front.

Prediction: Ukraine, Belgium

- Leo Collis

All this talk of Belgium's golden generation wasting away, yet there's still a formidable side here when things click.

This should be a straightforward group for the Red Devils to traverse, although Ukraine have it in them to make an impact on this tournament if star players such as Mykhailo Mudryk can find form at the right time.

Prediction: Belgium, Ukraine

Belgium are still good and still very competent. It's easy to write them off as being scared of the bright lights at big tournaments, but talent is talent and they have it.

Kevin De Bruyne is joined by the likes of Youri Tielemans and Jérémy Doku, two game-changers on their day. Oh, and they'll be the best-dressed crew at the tournament, which has to count for something.

From there, it's a total crapshoot, with Ukraine, Romania and Slovakia all relying on strong individual performances to propel them into the knockout rounds.

I'm putting my money on Slovakia to play together and move on.
