Liechtenstein vs Belgium: Match Preview
Liechtenstein are looking to produce a footballing miracle, but against a team as strong as Belgium, the challenge looks close to impossible.
One of Europe’s most modest national teams, Liechtenstein have never qualified for a major international tournament. Their current campaign suggests that this drought will continue.
Ranked 204th in the FIFA rankings, they have lost all 3 qualifying matches so far – against North Macedonia (0-3), Kazakhstan (0-2) and Wales (3-0) – and sit bottom of Group J.
Belgium, on the other hand, are not at their very best right now, but they will look to take advantage of this weaker opponent to build confidence and collect valuable points.
The main objective is to finish top of the group and avoid the dreaded World Cup play-offs.
With one draw and one win so far, the Red Devils currently sit third in the standings, 4 points behind North Macedonia, who have played two more games.
Liechtenstein vs Belgium: Odds

Liechtenstein vs Belgium: Our Predictions
Belgium to win without conceding @ 1.26
Given Liechtenstein’s lack of attacking threat (0 goals scored in 3 matches), it seems very unlikely they will find the back of the net. Belgium’s defence, which has conceded 4 goals in 2 games, shouldn’t have much to worry about here, and all signs point to a routine win for the Red Devils, one without conceding a single goal.
Over 4.5 goals @ 1.65
Belgium’s attackers could use this opportunity against weaker opposition to boost their confidence and score freely. Even with doubts surrounding Malick Fofana’s availability for this international break, Kevin De Bruyne, the returning Michy Batshuayi, and the rest of Belgium’s frontline have the perfect chance to inflate their stats.
First goal scored between 10:00 and 19:59 @ 4.20
Belgium might need the first 10 minutes to settle into the game and impose their style, especially against a compact defensive block like Liechtenstein’s. That’s why the first goal is likely to come between the 10th and 20th minute, once the home side’s defence begins to tire from Belgium’s possession and relentless attacks.
