Match Prediction: Liechtenstein vs. Belgium

In my opinion, despite the huge class difference with their upcoming opponent, Liechtenstein is capable of avoiding a heavy defeat at home. At least in their last eight home World Cup qualifiers, the team has never lost by more than four goals, and in seven of those matches, the deficit was no more than three goals.

Belgium has been successful in World Cup qualification for many years, but recently they have rarely achieved convincing victories. In their last eight away qualifiers, the team has won five times, but only in two instances did they win by more than one goal. Belgium has only won by at least five goals in an away World Cup qualifier once in the 21st century.

My prediction: Liechtenstein with a handicap (+4.5)
