Liechtenstein vs Belgium prediction: EUROPE: World Championship – Qualification betting tips on match 2025-09-03 18:45.
[p]Rock-bottom Liechtenstein host an unbeaten Belgium side as the race to reach the 2026 FIFA World Cup resumes.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Having finished bottom of their last four World Cup Qualifying (WCQ) groups, Liechtenstein were never expected to offer much resistance in Group J, and they’ve suffered a predictably miserable start to the campaign. Konrad Fünfstück’s side have lost their three matches so far, conceding eight goals without reply. Three of those came in defeat to Wales in June before they were thumped 4-0 by Scotland in friendly action to extend their losing streak to six games.[/p]
[p]A seventh defeat appears likely against Belgium, who have turned the corner under new boss Rudi Garcia. He kept them in the top tier of the Nations League in March before overseeing an unbeaten start to this WCQ cycle (W1, D1), most recently staving off a spirited Wales comeback to win 4-3. With just one automatic qualification place up for grabs, the Red Devils will be looking to steal a march on their rivals here as they look to finish top of their WCQ group for a fourth successive cycle.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Liechtenstein have conceded at least twice in 18 of the 21 WCQs Maximilian Göppel has played (D1, L20), but his only international goal came in this sphere back in 2016. Leandro Trossard remains unbeaten when scoring for Belgium (W7, D1), with his last four goals for them serving as the last of the game.[/p]
[p]Liechtenstein do not appear to have any fitness concerns. Amadou Onana and Dodi Lukébakio have not made the Belgium squad due to injury. [/p]
