Kazakhstan vs Belgium prediction: EUROPE: World Cup – Qualification betting tips on match 2025-11-14 14:00.
[p]Kazakhstan will be looking to maintain their recent turnaround in form since the humiliation of losing 6-0 away to upcoming opponents Belgium in September. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup is already out of reach for Kazakhstan ahead of this fixture, which will be their last game in Group J. That’s not to say the campaign has been a complete failure as they have already recorded two victories (D1, L4), a figure they managed only once across their five previous World Cup qualifying cycles, whilst more recently they are on a two-game unbeaten streak (W1, D1) since interim manager Talgat Baysufinov took charge. This is the first time the Hawks have avoided defeat across successive games since late 2023 and they will also be targeting back-to-back home wins after failing to do so across their last six fixtures as hosts (W1, D1, L4).[/p]
[p]Beginning this match one point clear at the top of the group and with a game in hand on their nearest challengers, Belgium will guarantee qualification with a victory in either this fixture or in Tuesday’s home clash with Liechtenstein. Rudi Garcia’s side are unbeaten across this campaign (W4, D2), dropping points only in their two games against North Macedonia, while scoring ten goals across their last two matches on the road. Both of those fixtures ended in 2+ goal victories which put a stop to the Red Devils’ nine-game streak without a win outside their borders (D5, L4), and as a consequence they are now on the verge of securing a place at a fourth consecutive World Cup finals.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
