Kazakhstan vs Belgium prediction: Red Devils to crush the Hawks
Key stats
- Kazakhstan are undefeated in back-to-back WCQ fixtures (W1, D1).
- The Hawks are winless in five of their seven WCQ matches (W2, D1, L4).
- Belgium have scored four or more goals in four of their last five wins.
- The Red Devils have conceded six goals in as many WCQ games.
Correct score prediction: Kazakhstan 0-3 Belgium
Kazakhstan were dealt a humiliating 6-0 defeat at the hands of Belgium thee matchdays ago – their heaviest loss since going 5-0 down to Norway in the UEFA Nations League back in November 2024. However, since then, Talgat Baysufinov’s men have claimed four points from two WCQ games.
Despite their resurgent form, Kazakhstan will be wary of the threat Belgium possess, with the visitors in blistering form, netting four or more goals in four of their last five games.
North Macedonia managed to keep the Red Devils at bay with a goalless draw, but it is going to be no walk in the park for Kazakhstan, as Belgium aim to clinch top spot with the final game remaining.

Rudi Garcia’s Belgium claimed an emphatic 4-2 victory over Wales last matchday, all but confirming their place at the 2026 World Cup. They are priced at 2/11 (1.81), which signifies a 55.2% win probability rate.

Player to watch: Jeremy Doku
Although Kevin De Bruyne remains the main man for Belgium, orchestrating their path to the 2026 World Cup, it is Jeremy Doku who has shone on the front foot for both club and country in recent matchdays. The Manchester City attacker has registered a goal contribution in three of his last four appearances for the Cityzens, and has netted three goals in this WCQ campaign.
