Belgium vs Liechtenstein Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers

The Red Devils will take on the Blue Reds in their final group game.

Belgium are very close to securing its spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They will host bottom-placed Liechtenstein in their final Group J game. They are undefeated in the group so far and, without a doubt, the best team in it.

They did drop points in some matches where they should have won, but still, they will be quite happy to get a direct World Cup Qualification. In seven matches, they won four and drew three. With 15 points, they lead the table.

Their last match performance was awful as they failed to beat a lower-ranked team, Kazakhstan, despite the home team going down to 10 men in the second half. They will hope to perform better at their home. They should be confident of getting a win here as they defeated the same team by a big margin last time.

On the other hand, Liechtenstein’s hope for a good result is not yet fulfilled. They have lost all the matches in the group so far, and their losing streak continues. Quality-wise, they aren’t a strong side, and their performance has been awful, especially away from home.

They haven’t been able to score a single goal in the qualifiers till now. Last time they lost by 6-0 to Belgium. They will have to be at their best to not lose by the same goal margin again.

Players to Watch

Hans Vanaken (Belgium)

Vanaken has been the creative hub for his club for a long time, and now, in the absence of Kevin De Bruyne, he leads his national team with creativity. Vanaken’s passing range is great, but his major weapon is his ability to ghost into the box to score goals. He likes to have freedom on the pitch, and due to his continuous movement in the final third, it is quite hard to mark him.

He can carry the ball quite well and doesn’t panic in pressure situations at all. This season, he has played 19 matches, scoring four goals and providing two assists.

Dennis Salanovic (Liechtenstein)

Salanovic has been part of his national team setup for a long time now. He has been a key player for them. He doesn’t play at a very high-level club, but still has quality to hurt opponents.

Salanovic is a versatile player who can play as a winger and also as a striker. This season hasn’t been that good for him. However, he will be hopeful of performing well here.
