Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips

Belgium, just one win away from securing a spot at the 2026 World Cup, will face an already eliminated Kazakhstan. The Red Devils previously defeated Kazakhstan 6-0 in September. They aim to confirm their qualification with another strong performance at Astana Arena.

Team Analysis:
Belgium is firmly in control of Group J after a 4-2 comeback win over Wales, scoring freely even without Romelu Lukaku. They sit one point ahead of North Macedonia and can seal World Cup qualification with a win over Kazakhstan. Meanwhile, Kazakhstan, already out of contention, will play for pride after a heavy 6-0 loss to Belgium earlier in the group stage.

Player Situation:
Belgium will field a strong lineup on Saturday despite missing key players including Lukaku, De Bruyne, and Courtois. Young goalkeepers Maarten Vandevoordt and Senne Lammens may make their senior debuts, while Trossard or rookie Romeo Vermant could lead the attack. Kazakhstan will also be without key players, including goalkeeper Aleksandr Zarutskiy, with teenager Dastan Satpaev likely starting up front.

Result Prediction:
Belgium dominated Kazakhstan at home but may find scoring harder in Astana. Lacking a settled central striker, they could be challenged by Kazakhstan’s resilient defense. Still, a win would secure their spot in the 2026 World Cup.

Predicted Result: Kazakhstan 0-2 Belgium.
