Top position in Group J will be at stake when Belgium and North Macedonia lock horns at Planet Group Arena (Gent) on Friday. The Red Devils are seen as hot favourites to win this match, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Experienced midfielder Axel Witsel has been recalled, with both Amadou Onana and Senne Lammens returning from injuries. Napoli striker Romelu Lukaku remains in the recovery room, but his teammate Kevin De Bruyne is widely expected to start against North Macedonia.
Blagoja Milevski’s men, on the other hand, are eager to retain first place in the standings, but given Belgium’s excellent display in a 6-0 crushing of Kazakhstan, home win should be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Bojan Miovski, who scored for Rangers in a 1-1 draw with Falkirk at the weekend.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Friday 10 October 2025 at 19:45.
