Wales vs Belgium prediction 13.10.2025 | World Cup Qualification 2026

Wales enter this match after back-to-back defeats, albeit it was a friendly match on both occasions. A 1-0 loss to Canada in September and a heavy 3-0 defeat to England at Wembley saw Wales lose back-to-back games for the first time in over two years - they suffered two defeats in a row on route to the EURO 2024 (4-2 against Armenia and 2-0 against Turkey). Nonetheless, in their most recent qualifier, they beat Kazakhstan 1-0 away to move to 10 points in Group J. Their only defeat in the group so far has been the 4-3 loss away to Belgium, and they have lost just two in their last 19 qualifiers, showing consistency.

There are no reported major injuries in the Wales’ squad ahead of this game.

Belgium are in good position in Group J, sitting just behind group leaders but with one game in hand. Their attacking output has been strong - in September, they recorded big wins (6-0s) over both Liechtenstein and Kazakhstan, demonstrating both efficiency in attack and ability to dominate weaker opponents. However, Belgium have shown some vulnerability too - they were held to a goalless draw by North Macedonia on Friday, despite dominating possession and recording 25 shots against opponents 3. 

Youri Tielemens is a key absentee for Belgium and will not feature on Monday, as will not Romelu Lukaku, who is still recovering from injury he picked up while playing for Napoli.
