Wales vs Belgium Match Prediction
Wales struggled to fashion clear goalscoring opportunities against a star-studded England side at Wembley on Thursday night as early goals from Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, and Bukayo Saka condemned Craig Bellamy's side to a 3-0 defeat. The hosts are only two points behind Group J leaders North Macedonia heading into this challenging fixture.
Belgium outshot group leaders North Macedonia 25-3 on Friday night but were unable to find a way past Stole Dimitrievski in between the sticks as the game ended scoreless. Rudi Garcia's side are unbeaten in Group J and beat Wales 4-3 when the two sides last met.
