Wales vs Belgium Match Preview And Prediction.

source
On Tuesday evening, two European giants will meet in an enthralling World Cup Qualifiers Group E battle when Wales hosts Belgium at Cardiff City Stadium.

In front of a loud home crowd on Saturday night, Wales cruised to a 5-1 victory over Belarus.
Robert Page's team is currently in second place in Group E, three points ahead of the Czech Republic, who must defeat Estonia on Tuesday to keep their hopes of qualifying for the final qualifying playoff position alive.

Wales had already qualified for the March playoffs, which will be contested to fill the remaining European seats in next year's Qatar finals, thanks to their success in the UEFA Nations League, in which they won their region.

Coming in second place in Group E, on the other hand, may provide them a higher chance of securing a home draw.

Belgium, on the other hand, has already qualified for the Qatar World Cup finals next year thanks to Christian Benteke, Yannick Carrasco, and Thorgan Hazard goals in a comfortable 3-1 win over Estonia last time out.

Belgium lost in the Nations League semifinals to France and Italy last month, which may have harmed their confidence, but they rallied back quickly and will now aim to build on that momentum.

In March of this year, Belgium convincingly defeated Wales 3-1 in the rematch. The Hard Tackle examines the matchup before of the most recent meeting between the two teams.

Team Form

Both teams are in excellent condition. The Belgians won 3-1 over Estonia on their final matchday at home, confirming their place in Qatar. The team is determined to make something of its wonderful crop of players after back-to-back heartbreaks in international competitions.

Wales, on the other side, is having a fantastic season. They were coming off a 5-1 triumph against Belarus at home, and they were also on a two-game winning run.

As a result, we have two in-form squads on opposite sides of the pitch, with no pressure because both have improved. As a result, expect plenty more goals on Tuesday.

Kevin De Bruyne and his teammates, on the other hand, appear to be too good to handle, and they also have a stronger head-to-head record over the years. You may bet on them to win at Cardiff City Stadium.

Team News

Ethan Ampadu will miss Wales' midweek match against Belgium due to a ban he received after being booked during Saturday's win over Belarus.

Chris Mepham and Chris Gunter are both in contention to replace Ampadu in the starting XI, but Wales manager Robert Page has no new injury concerns and might name a lineup that is identical to last weekend's with a few tweaks.

Despite not having played for Real Madrid since August due to injury, Gareth Bale, who earned his 100th cap against Belarus, was a contentious addition to the Wales squad for the international break.

Page has confirmed that the Real Madrid star will not start this game, but is likely to be fit enough to come on as a replacement at some point during the game. He was substituted at halftime on Saturday, but the move was pre-planned to manage fatigue.

In Cardiff, Belgium will be without Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard, as well as Jason Denayer and second-choice goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, who have all returned to their respective clubs. Jeremy Doku, Romelu Lukaku, Michy Batshuayi, Toby Alderweireld, Youri Tielemans, and Thomas Vermaelen were earlier ruled out.

With Eden Hazard absent, Yannick Carrasco could be pushed farther forward in the final third with Dries Mertens, who earned his 100th cap against Estonia.

Last Saturday, Benteke posed a serious threat to Estonian defenses. The striker from Crystal Palace will once again lead the Red Devils attack from the front.
