Belgium vs Liechtenstein Prediction 19 November 2025

🔊 Can Belgium maintain their top spot in their qualifying group? On Tuesday, in the final round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Belgium will host Liechtenstein. These teams are not evenly matched, and the odds heavily favor the hosts. Let's delve deeper into this matchup and provide a prediction for the outcome.

Head-to-Head

📊 These opponents have faced each other only once. It happened during the current qualification cycle for the 2026 World Cup. In that encounter, Belgium secured a commanding away victory, defeating Liechtenstein 6-0.

Belgium Team Overview

⚫ Belgium's national team has yet to secure a direct ticket to the 2026 World Cup, despite having the chance to do so in the previous round. Currently, Rudy Garcia's squad sits atop Group J, leading both Wales and North Macedonia by 2 points. Given that these teams will face each other in the final round and Belgium boasts a superior goal difference, the "Red Devils" will be content with a draw against Liechtenstein.

🟡 Belgium should have settled their World Cup qualification questions in the previous round when they traveled to face Kazakhstan. However, the long journey seemed to take its toll, as Rudy Garcia's men appeared disjointed and managed only a single point from a 1-1 draw. Now, they are paying for it with frayed nerves — and those don't recover easily!

Liechtenstein Team Overview

🔴 The Liechtenstein national team, the underdogs of Group J, have fully lived up to their status in this qualifying cycle. Konrad Fünfstück's squad have lost all seven of their qualification matches and failed to earn a single point. Moreover, Liechtenstein have not managed to score a single goal while conceding 24 times.

🔵 In their most recent outing, Liechtenstein put up a commendable defensive effort (there's no other way to describe it!) against Wales. The Welsh applied pressure throughout the match but managed to find the net only once, despite taking seven shots on target and posting an expected goals (xG) figure of 2.18.

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards

The upcoming match will be officiated by Mohammed Al-Hakim from Sweden. On average, over a span of 100 matches, he hands out 3.33 yellow cards per game, with 24 fouls. In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the yellow card stats for the teams are as follows: Belgium averages 1.3 per game, while Liechtenstein averages 1.9. Given that both teams have been disciplined in this qualifying cycle, we suggest betting on total yellow cards under 4.5.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Belgium's average individual total in the qualifiers is 3.1 goals per match, while Liechtenstein has yet to score. The scoring averages for matches involving these teams are 4.1 for the hosts and 3.4 for the visitors. Considering these stats, we recommend considering a bet on total match goals under 6.5.

🚩 Corner Prediction

In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Belgium averages 9.7 corners per game, compared to Liechtenstein's 0.9. The Belgians frequently attack down the wings and take many shots on goal, leading to numerous corner opportunities, unlike their opponents. We suggest placing a bet on home team corner handicap (-7.5).

Belgium are formidable in this qualification campaign, even without some of their key attacking players. The upcoming match looks uneven — the "Red Devils" are significantly stronger than their opponents and have the home advantage. We predict a convincing 4-0 victory for the hosts in this encounter. Matches involving both teams tend to be high-scoring, but a heavy defeat isn't necessary for Belgium here, so we suggest betting on total under 6.5.
