The Belgian national team has a squad that can compete with any opponent, but they have had problems in terms of gameplay and results. In the last World Cup, the team didn’t even make it out of the group stage. Yes, they faced future semi-finalists Croatia and Morocco, but that is a weak consolation. Currently, Belgium has a new coach, Domenico Tedesco, who will try to maximize the potential of such a strong squad. The team started the qualifiers well, with a convincing 3-0 victory over Sweden, one of their direct competitors, away from home. They are currently in second place in the group, trailing Austria by 3 points, mainly because their competitor has played one more game.
Austria did not participate in the last World Cup as they played in the playoffs but lost to Wales in the semi-finals, 1-2. They began the qualifiers with two victories, which allowed them to take the lead in the group, although their opponents were weak. They comfortably defeated Azerbaijan 4-1 at home and then struggled to secure a 2-1 victory against Estonia on their own turf. The group is challenging for Austria as they have to compete with strong opponents such as Belgium and Sweden. More accurate football prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
