Belgium vs North Macedonia Preview and Team News
Belgium Team News
Rudi Garcia’s Belgium still have work to do to secure their spot at next summer’s World Cup. They sit second in Group J after winning three of their four matches, but they do have a crucial game in hand over the only side above them in the standings.
Garcia’s men have hit their stride in recent internationals, scoring 12 unanswered goals across their last two outings. The team have lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Doku and Trossard serving as the dynamic wingers tasked with creating havoc in the final third.
Influential captain Tielemans has been ruled out of the October internationals, but the experienced Witsel has been recalled to the squad.
Belgium predicted lineup vs North Macedonia (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Castagne, Debast, Theate, De Cuyper; Raskin, Onana; Doku, De Bruyne, Trossard; Openda.
North Macedonia Team News
It’s been a dream start to World Cup qualification for Blagoja Milevski’s North Macedonia. The minnows come into the October international break sitting top of the Group J standings, having avoided defeat in all five of their matches.
They’ve recorded three wins, including victories in each of their last two. However, qualification to next summer’s World Cup remains a long shot with important games against Belgium and Wales still to come.
North Macedonia have played a compact 4-4-2 formation throughout qualification, with wide players Elmas and Churlinov tasked with offering offensive support, as well as providing defensive cover for Ilievski and Alioski in the full-back positions.
Miovski and Trajkovski have formed a dynamic partnership at the top of the field, and they’ll be responsible for holding up the ball and bringing teammates into play on Friday.
North Macedonia predicted lineup vs Belgium (4-4-2): Dimitrievski; Ilievski, Zajkov, Stojchevski, Alioski; Churlinov, Bardhi, Alimi, Elmas; Miovski, Trajkovski.
Belgium vs North Macedonia Prediction
- Pick: Belgium to win
- Odds: -714 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Belgium 3-0 North Macedonia
Belgium have recorded victories in two of their last three internationals against North Macedonia. They’ve also found their perfect balance in recent matches, scoring 12 goals in their last two without conceding.
Garcia’s team have been excellent in an offensive regard at home as well, scoring an incredible 2.8 goals per game from an xG of 2.2.
North Macedonia’s performances have been reliable to this point in the qualification campaign, but they lack the quality against the very best European nations to cause a shock result.
Belgium vs North Macedonia Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: -175 (20Bet)
Fixtures involving these teams have often been high-scoring during the qualification campaign.
Belgium’s outings have averaged 3.7 goals per game, while North Macedonia’s clashes have averaged 2.3. Therefore, there’s plenty of appeal in siding with over 2.5 total goals.
The chances are enhanced by the fact that the visitors have conceded a high xGA average of 1.14 per away match, and they’ll be put to the sword by a talented Belgian side this week.
