Wales will take on Belgium on Monday in the FIFA World Cup Qualifier at the Cardiff City Stadium as they both look to secure a ticket for the World Cup.
The Dragons come into this match sitting third on the Group J table with 10 points, having claimed a 1-0 victory against Kazakhstan in their last qualifier, before losing 1-0 to Canada in a friendly game and also lost 3-0 to England in their last qualifying game.
Meanwhile, the in-form Red Devils have been dominant in their qualifiers and sit in second place with 10 points. They won their previous game by thrashing Kazakhstan 6-0. However, they failed to extend their winning streak, having drawn 0-0 against North Macedonia.

Wales vs Belgium prediction: Home team to win the game
Key statistics
- Belgium have led at half-time in three of their last five meetings.
- Both teams have played the 1-1 scoreline in two of their last five encounters.
- Their last five clashes have ended in a BTTS result.
Correct score prediction: Wales 1-1 Belgium
With both teams looking to push for a win to go top of their group, we are predicting a 1-1 draw for this encounter. The Red Devils have been a formidable opponent against the Dragons in their last meetings.
However, they have played a 1-1 scoreline on two occasions in these meetings and there have been a lot of goals between the two teams. The sides' most recent qualifying match was a thrilling four-three win for Belgium in June 2025. We believe the game is going to be a tight encounter and do not see either team coming out with a win in this game.

Wales preview: No Injury troubles for the host
Head coach Rudi Garcia will be frustrated that his team failed to score for the first time in seven matches, especially after finding the net 17 times across their previous five group fixtures.
Despite the setback, a loss would not be critical for the Red Devils, as Wales and North Macedonia are set to face each other in November, meaning at least one of them will drop points. Securing victories in their final two group games would still guarantee Belgium a top-two finish. On the bright side, Garcia has no injury concerns, with a fully fit squad available for selection.

Kevin De Bruyne has shown good form this season and has played a key role in his country's performance in the qualifiers. The Belgian playmaker has been the primary creative force for his team, having registered six goals and provided three assists in his last outing in all competitions. His exceptional passing range and ability to score will be crucial for Belgium if they are to get something against Wales.
