Match Prediction: Liechtenstein vs. Belgium

In my opinion, despite the significant difference in class with their upcoming opponent, Liechtenstein at home is quite capable of avoiding a very large defeat. At the very least, in their last eight home World Cup qualifiers, the team has not allowed opponents to win by more than four goals, and in seven of these matches, the margin was a maximum of three goals.

The Belgians have been successful in World Cup qualifying for many years, but recently have rarely achieved convincing victories. In their last eight away qualifiers, the team has won five times, but only twice was the final margin more than one goal. Belgium has only once in the 21st century won by at least five goals in an away World Cup qualifier.

My prediction: Liechtenstein with a handicap (+4.5)
