Belgium Eyes World Cup Spot: Hosts Liechtenstein

Belgium stands on the brink of 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification as they prepare to host Group J's last-placed team, Liechtenstein. The Red Devils are the overwhelming favorites in this fixture, aiming to secure their spot in the finals before the final qualifying match. Despite being undefeated in the current campaign, Belgium has drawn three of their seven games, making this encounter critical.

Currently, Belgium holds a two-point lead over Wales and North Macedonia, who are tied for second place. Their superior goal difference further strengthens their position. A victory against Liechtenstein would guarantee them the sole automatic qualification spot from the group, while a draw could also suffice depending on the outcome of the other crucial match.

Liechtenstein, on the other hand, has endured a difficult qualifying campaign, losing every match and struggling defensively with 24 goals conceded. Their previous encounter with Belgium saw a dominant 6-0 victory for the Red Devils. Belgium will be boosted by the return of Thomas Meunier from suspension, while Liechtenstein faces fitness concerns for some players.
