Belgium vs Kazakhstan prediction: EUROPE: World Championship – Qualification betting tips on match 2025-09-06 18:45.
[p]European giants Belgium are presented with a huge chance to inject further momentum into their World Cup qualifying (WCQ) cycle when they host a struggling Kazakhstan side.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Belgium’s unbeaten start to this WCQ cycle continued with a 6-0 thrashing of Liechtenstein on Thursday, keeping their fate firmly in their own hands in what’s shaping up to be a competitive group. The Red Devils are hunting down North Macedonia and Wales – both of whom they face next month – for the sole automatic qualification spot in Group J. That would be familiar territory for Belgium, who’ve topped their group in the last three WCQ cycles without tasting a single defeat (W23, D5). Their last such loss was in October 2009, while they’re unbeaten in 16 WCQ games on home soil (W13, D3).[/p]
[p]Kazakhstan now need a minor miracle if they’re to reach the World Cup for the first time as an independent nation, as a 1-0 home defeat to Wales left them with just three points from their four matches so far (W1, L3). While there were plenty of encouraging signs in their performance against Wales, it was ultimately the Hawks’ 41st defeat from 54 WCQ games as a UEFA member (W4, D9), and as their only two away wins in this sphere came against Andorra and Liechtenstein, an almighty task awaits them in Anderlecht.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Belgium have never been beaten in six prior H2Hs (W4, D2), winning each of the last four by an aggregate score of 11-1.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Belgium have scored 3+ goals in nine of their last ten WCQ home games.[/p]
[p]Belgium have had exactly ten corners in three of their last four matches.[/p]
[p]Twelve of Kazakhstan’s last 13 WCQ away defeats have come by multiple-goal margins.[/p]
[p]Kazakhstan have hit the woodwork five times in their last two matches without scoring a goal.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Newly-appointed captain Youri Tielemans has directly contributed to four goals in his last two international matches (G3, A1) and is looking to score in three successive Belgium matches for the first time. Kazakhstan’s Galymzhan Kenzhebek had more shots than any other player against Wales (five) – he scored their last goal, with each of his last four strikes for club and country arriving after half-time.[/p]
[p]Belgium have no fresh injury concerns after their victory, but Kazakhstan could be without Nuraly Alip after he was forced off in their defeat.[/p]
