Currently holding a record of 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, Belgium sit third in Group J. With North Macedonia and another draw complicating the standings, the qualification race has become wide open — making this match absolutely crucial.
Belgium are under significant pressure. In their previous match, they completely dominated North Macedonia but, without their target man Romelu Lukaku, their attack lacked a finishing touch. Despite constant pressure, they were held to a 0–0 draw — revealing their current inefficiency in front of goal.
Wales, meanwhile, feature a lineup packed with Premier League regulars. Their midfield and attacking players — such as David Brooks and Harry Wilson — are particularly dangerous on the counter. Winger Sorba Thomas scored against Belgium in the first meeting, causing plenty of trouble for the Red Devils’ defense. With their home advantage and strong transitions, Wales could well spring a surprise here.
Recommended pick: Home team not to lose (Wales win or draw)
Predicted score: Wales 1–1 Belgium
