Moreover, the team has managed only one clean sheet in their last 16 European qualifiers. Kazakhstan has three points and sits in fourth place in the group standings.

• The team has not won in regular time in 15 of their last 16 away World Cup qualifying matches (3 draws, 12 losses).

Belgium vs. Kazakhstan: Match Prediction

I anticipate a high number of goals in this match, primarily expecting offensive activity from Belgium, who frequently find the net at home. In their last seven home World Cup qualifiers, Belgium has never scored fewer than three goals, with some exceptionally high-scoring games, such as against Belarus (8-0) and Gibraltar (9-0). However, they haven't always been solid defensively, conceding four goals in their last two home European qualifiers.

Kazakhstan rarely performs at their best in away matches, but the team strives to focus on creativity. In their last seven away World Cup qualifiers, they have failed to score in only two matches, one of which was against France. Meanwhile, Kazakhstan's defense has been lacking, conceding at least two goals in 9 of their last 12 away games.

My prediction: Total over 3

* The starting lineup for each team is based on their previous match in this tournament.
