The World Cup qualifiers are slowly coming to an end. In the last round of Group J, the first-placed Belgium will face off against the last-placed team, Liechtenstein, at Maurice Dufrasnestadion in Liège. With a potential three points, Belgium would mathematically secure the World Cup, while Liechtenstein have no motive result-wise.
Let's break down the game and find the best possible bet for this World Cup Qualifiers game.

0 : 6
Belgium
WC Qualification Europe
Interestingly, these teams met just once - in the Qualifiers in September. In that match, Belgium expectedly dominated, winning 6:0. For the entire match, Liechtenstein couldn't create a single chance and had zero shots on and off the goal.
Belgium team overview
Belgium are one of the teams that have appeared in the World Cup pretty regularly. Unfortunately, after a really good tournament in Russia (2018), when they finished third, Belgium had a terrible one in Qatar, finishing their competition in the group phase. Before the WC Qualifiers, they underperformed in the UEFA Nations League, barely securing survival in League A through the relegation playout.
Still, in these Qualifiers, "The Red Devils" did a better job, as they are currently at the top spot with 15 points in seven rounds. Now, they are two points away from the second-placed North Macedonia and need all three points to matematically secure the top spot and another World Cup appearance. They could have secured their WC spot in the previous round, but had a disappointing draw with Kazakhstan (1:1). Yet, to be fair, they completely dominated and deserved that win.

Liechtenstein team overview
Liechtenstein are ranked 206 out of 211 national teams in the FIFA World Ranking List and are the second-worst team in Europe, just above San Marino. They have never reached any of the major competitions, which will not change any time soon. Before the WC Qualifiers, they were atrocious, finishing last in Group 1 of the UEFA Nations League D.
Expectedly, they were terrible in the World Cup Qualifiers, losing all games thus far and failing to score a single goal in seven rounds. Looking at their trend in the World Cup or Euro Qualifiers, we are really not surprised by such poor performances.
In the previous game against Wales, two important players from the starting eleven suffered injuries and will most likely miss the upcoming match -Emanuel Zund and Fabio Luque-Notaro.

Prediction
Belgium are a much better team and it is not even close. Thus far, they have won four and drawn three in seven WC Qualifiers. Three out of those four wins were by at least a two-goal difference. Even in draws (vs Kazakhstan and North Macedonia twice), Belgium were super dominant, and it was a miracle they failed to win.
On the other hand, Liechtenstein lost all seven games thus far with a terrible 0:24 goal difference. Looking further back, they lost 11 straight games across the competitions, and nine of those were by at least a two-goal difference.
In the previous h2h game in Liechtenstein, Belgium showed just how big the gap in quality is between the two teams, winning 6:0. So, it is fair to expect they can win comfortably in Belgium as well.
3 Reasons why Belgium should win and cover the -2 AH spread
- Belgium won four out of seven WC Qualifier games
- Liechtenstein lost all seven matches in the Qualifiers
- Belgium won the previous h2h game 6:0
