The battle for top spot
On Monday evening, Wales will face Belgium in Cardiff in a duel for the top spot in World Cup Qualifying Group J. Wales recently played England and lost 3-0 to Tuchel’s team. Belgium, on the other hand, had to face the current leaders from Macedonia and ended up with a goalless draw. Belgium already won the first leg 4-3, so we are going for another Belgian victory in our Wales vs. Belgium prediction.
Wales got off to a solid start in World Cup qualifying, but lost their last two friendlies against England and Canada without scoring a single goal. They are third in the group with ten points from their first five games and have suffered their only defeat so far against Belgium. However, a win against the Belgians could see them take the lead in the table.
Belgium is the only team in the group that is still undefeated, along with Macedonia – but they also have one game less than the Macedonians. With 17 goals, the “Red Devils” are by far the most dangerous offense – in four of their five games, they have already scored in the first half. For another goal in the first half, you can secure Wales vs. Belgium odds of 1.66.
Belgium’s last game was a sobering 0-0 draw against Macedonia, after the first leg had already ended in a 1-1 draw. However, they celebrated two 6-0 victories against Kazakhstan and Liechtenstein, which contributed significantly to their good goal difference. Kevin De Bruyne is currently performing well as the group’s top scorer with four goals.

Wales – Belgium Tip
Belgium won the first leg 4-3 against Wales and can take the lead in the group if they don’t lose. However, their last game was a 0-0 draw against Macedonia. Wales, on the other hand, lost their last two friendlies without scoring a goal, but can also take the lead in the group with a win. It’s sure to be an exciting match!
This match pits Belgium, the group’s best offense, against Wales, the most consistent offense. Belgium has scored 17 times in its five World Cup qualifiers so far, while Wales is the only team to have scored in each of its five games. Ultimately, we are predicting another victory for Belgium, but Wales should put up a good fight and also contribute at least one goal. This makes the betting odds for both teams to score between Wales and Belgium all the more interesting!
