Belgium are aiming for maximum points as they continue their push to the top of Group J when they face pointless Liechtenstein at Rheinpark Stadion this Thursday.
Liechtenstein team overview
Liechtenstein have never experienced the honour of competing at a major international tournament, and with the current squad lacking both strength and quality, it appears they will have to wait a long time yet before such a dream becomes a realistic prospect.
As predicted and expected, the Blue-Reds endured a devastating start to their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, suffering defeat in all three of their opening group-stage fixtures while conceding eight times without managing a single reply.
A broader look at their form shows Liechtenstein’s losing streak has now stretched to six straight competitive and friendly matches, following a 4-0 drubbing by Scotland in a June friendly, and the fact they managed to score just once during that period only adds to their woes.
With two September qualifiers approaching, Konrad Funfstuck, recently named as head coach, has introduced five fresh faces to the squad, and Vaduz defender Luca Beck could earn his first cap.

Belgium team overview
On the other hand, Belgium are tipped as one of the hot favourites to top Group J, despite their football showing signs of gradual decline in recent years, having already packed their bags in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup and stopped in the quarter-finals at the last European Championship.
In January, Die Roten Teufel appointed Rudi Garcia as their new head coach, but his tenure got off to a bleak start as his side succumbed to a 3-1 defeat against Ukraine in the first leg of the UEFA Nations League A/B relegation playoff.
Responding swiftly, the French coach masterminded a 3-0 demolition of Ukraine in the return leg, ensuring his team retained their spot in the top-tier UNL competition.
The Belgians started their bid for World Cup qualification on a cautious note, managing a lukewarm 1-1 draw away to North Macedonia, only to follow it up with an electrifying seven-goal triumph against a stubborn Wales side.
Five new faces have earned their first call-ups to Die Roten Teufel for September’s World Cup qualifiers, with OGC Nice’s 26-year-old midfielder Charles Vanhoutte standing out as he looks to impress the Belgian coach.

Prediction
It’s clear that Liechtenstein are primarily serving as a “goal difference gauge” for the rest of Group J in this qualifying cycle, as finding any space against the dominant Belgians seems almost impossible. Their attacking struggles in the opening three fixtures speak volumes – averaging just 0.26 expected goals (xG) – and they failed to register a single shot against Wales in matchday three, underlining just how toothless and ineffective their offense has been. Belgium’s triumph is all but certain, and the focus shifts to just how dominant they will be, as even a subtly rotated squad should be capable of delivering a controlled win by a fairly convincing score.
Three Reasons we expect Under 3.5
- Liechtenstein have lost each of their last six matches in all competitions.
- Liechtenstein have failed to score in five of their last six appearances.
- Belgium are unbeaten in three consecutive matches, winning two of them.
