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

It’s a do-or-die game for the Red Devils!
Rheinpark Stadion in Vaduz gears up to host the FIFA World Cup Qualifier fixture between former World Cup bronze medalist Belgium and home team Liechtenstein.
After Roberto Martinez’s departure, there has been a series of coaching overhauls in the Belgian camp. Under Dominic Tedesco, the Belgian team reached their all-time low in the last few years. Former Napoli and Al Nassr coach Rudi Garcia has taken over the reins and will be keen to propel the Red Devils into the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Liechtenstein are currently positioned at the bottom of the FIFA World Cup Qualifier points table. They will need more than a miracle in their remaining games to make it to USA next year. They have succumbed to defeats against teams like Scotland, Wales and Kazakhstan recently and have failed to clinch even a solitary point in their qualifier campaign.
Kick-off:
- Location: Vaduz, Liechtenstein
- Stadium: Rheinpark Stadion
- Date: Friday, September 5
- Kick-off Time: 12:15 a.m. IST
- Referee: TBD
- VAR: In use
Players to Watch
Benjamin Buchel (Liechtenstein)
The vice captain of the Liechtenstein team, Benjamin Buchel, would eye a clean sheet in the big game against Belgium next. He has previously plied his trade with clubs like Oxford United, Bournemouth and Dorchester Town. His experience will be key as the 36-year-old veteran custodian will be the player to watch out for the home side.
Jeremy Doku (Belgium)
The 23-year-old Belgian international from Antwerp is one of the most talented youngsters in modern football today. Having donned the jerseys of Rennes and Manchester City at an early age, Doku is set to be a crucial player for the Red Devils in the next game as they eye a big win against Liechtenstein.
