Belgium vs Wales – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Belgium host Group J leaders Wales in 2026 World Cup qualification tonight.

Rudi Garcia’s side began their campaign with a 1-1 draw in North Macedonia on Friday. Maxim De Cuyper opened the scoring for Belgium but the visitors were pegged back late on when Ezgjan Alioski equalised four minutes from time.

Belgium are ranked eighth in the world but are undergoing a period of transition. It’s just one win in their last eight games for the Red Devils, with Garcia appointed as their new head coach in January, tasked with reviving their fortunes.

The home side will be without Thibaut Courtois due to injury so Nottingham Forest’s Matz Sels should continue in goal. Fulham full-back Timothy Castagne was also ruled out through injury, while Chelsea’s Romeo Lavia was not included amid limited football this season.

Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne will lead a largely inexperience squad, with only Youri Tielemans and Thomas Meunier having won more than 50 caps outside that duo. After starting on the bench on Friday, Tielemans and Aston Villa teammate Amadou Onana are expected to come into the midfield.
