Free Betting Tips & Predictions for Belgium vs Wales
Wales are at risk of being relegated from the top division in the Nations League this week after only managing to pick up 1pt from their opening four group games. Belgium have the home advantage on Thursday and are the big favourites with the bookmakers to win the game and practically book their place in the knockout round as a result.

Both Teams to Score
There is a good chance that we will be treated to goals at both ends of the pitch on Thursday night as each of the last four meetings between these two nations have ended the very same way. Both teams have scored in three of Belgium's last four outings as well as in five of Wales' last six matches, so you can see just why we're not backing either side to keep their clean sheet intact in this game.
Michy Batshuayi to Score
Without Romelu Lukaku in the squad, Michy Batshuayi will be asked to step up and score the goals for Belgium this week. The Fenerbahce striker has already scored 2-goals in this competition and joint-top scores for Belgium alongside Trossard. Batshuayi has a good record for Belgium, netting 25-goals in 45 international matches and would have scored more if had not been standing in Romelu Lukaku's shadow for the past decade.
