Wales welcome familiar foes Belgium to Cardiff City Stadium as Craig Bellamy & Co. look for a surprise victory that would put qualification for the 2026 World Cup in their hands. It’s second against third and should be a cracker.
Today will be the sixth meeting between the two sides in the last four and a half years and Wales will be desperate to end what has been a winless run since their memorable 3-1 victory over the Red Devils in the quarter-finals of Euro 2016. They dominated Belgium in June, conceding a heartbreaking winner two minutes from time, and will be hoping to secure the victory that will make the clash against North Macedonia next month. The Welsh lost 3-0 to their English neighbors on Thursday after a nightmare start and were a “wake-up call” according to boss Bellamy, whose side have now lost three of their last four games. Tottenham defender Ben Davies will win his 100th cap this evening.
Belgium’s 0-0 draw with North Macedonia three days ago means victory in Cardiff is vital for Rudi Garcia’s side, who failed to score for the first time in seven games despite numerous presentable chances. Three wins in the remaining matches (with Kazakhstan and minnows Liechtenstein to come) will guarantee automatic qualification for next summer, but a draw makes things tricky and the calculators will be ready for the final round next month. Kevin De Bruyne is the last man standing of Belgium’s golden generation, but it is up front that he must replace the goals of the injured Romelu Lukaku.
