Belgium, hosting Wales in Group E is one of the biggest games in Europe as the 2022 World Cup qualifiers take off. Matches between these two nations have been really entertaining lately and with the form carried by both sides’ player we expect more of the same here. Belgium are still the best ranked in the world and Wales are 18th. The hosts go to this game unbeaten in their last four matches, with straight wins, and having lost just once in their last 18 matches. The 18 matches have produced 16 wins, and they’ve scored two goals or more in each of the four straight wins going to this game. The high scoring nature of Belgium’s matches has seen five of their last eight matches produce over 2.5 goals, while they have just one clean sheet in their last seven matches. In World Cup qualifiers, Belgium have no loss in the last 20, and the last five served straight wins with 21 goals scored. At home, they are unbeaten in their last 11 World Cup qualification matches. This is the form the Belgians will be hoping for as they seek a first win over Wales in five meetings. They will be hoping for some good news on key forward Romelu Lukaku, as his team, Internazionale has a Covid-19 outbreak.

Wales, on the other hand, hope to make it three wins in a row against Belgium. They last met at the Euros in 2016, and earlier in 2015 with Wales winning both, and having drawn in their earlier two meetings. The Welsh get to this clash unbeaten in the last five matches, and with just one loss in 14. In their last five matches four have produced clean sheets and they have four wins and four losses in the last 10 away matches. In World Cup qualification matches, Wales have one loss in the last 12 but have scored more than a goal in just one of the last eight. In their last seven away matches in World Cup qualification, they’ve managed to beat minnows Moldova and Georgia. Gareth Bale, will definitely be a leading light for Wales in this game and he has been doing well for Tottenham Hotspur. The team will be under caretaker manager Robert Page who has also included in the squad Aaron Ramsey, who has been struggling with a thigh injury.
