Match Time & Date:

20:45
Prediction: 2-1
Wales
All eyes will be on King Baudouin Stadium when Belgium and Wales lock horns in a highly-anticipated World Cup qualifier. Belgium failed to impress in their Group J opener, with the team dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with North Macedonia and, no doubt, they will go for a win in Monday’s encounter. Premier League stars Youri Tielemans and Amadou Onana are both pushing for a start, while there are no fresh injury worries in Rudi Garcia’s team.
The Dragons, on the other hand, defeated Liechtenstein 3-0 to climb to top position in the standings, but they will have a big fish to fry in Brussels. In their last meeting in a competitive match (Nations League, 2022), Belgium defeated Wales 2-1 and with the Red Devils being a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Nottingham Forest defender Neco Williams limped off with injury in the last qualifying game, with Jay Dasilva likely to step up.
Highlighted Player (Romelu Lukaku):
Romelu Lukaku Bolingoli, born on 13th of ay 1993 is a Belgian player with roots form Congo. Lukaku played for several youth teams before he got picked up by RSC Anderlecht. After playing for only 2 seasons for Anderlecht Chelsea picked him up for around12 million euro.

The biggest achievement of Lukakui is winning the Eerste klasse in Belgium and the English FA Cup. With his strength and goal scoring abilities Lukaku can be considered as one of the deadliest strikers of the world. Nicknames for Lukaku are Big Rom and the Tank.
Highlighted Team (Wales):
Despite being part of the United Kingdom, Wales national football team has been competing in FIFA tournaments since 1950, although they have so far only reached two tournament finals. The Dragons surprised everyone by making it to the quarter-finals at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, but little did they know that it would remain their only World Cup appearance up to date.
Wales had plenty of problems in the European Championship qualifiers as well, but they finally managed to end the barren run by securing their place at the Euro 2016 in France. Led by the likes of Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen and Ashley Williams, the Dragons performed admirably throughout the campaign and even reached the 8th position in the FIFA Rankings in October 2015.
Neville Southall remains the team’s most capped player, but the generation that included Ryan Giggs, Gary Speed, Craig Bellamy and John Hartson will also be remembered for some impressive performances against top European national teams.
