Prediction Belgium vs Liechtenstein 2026 – Betting Tips for the WC Qualification Europe on 18/11/2025

Match outlook: Belgium looming for a statement at Stade Maurice Dufrasne

Belgium returns to Liege on 18 November in a position of clear dominance. Sitting top of their group with an unbeaten record of four wins and three draws from seven matches, Belgium have built momentum across the campaign: 22 goals scored and only seven conceded. Their recent run includes comfortable routing of Liechtenstein earlier in the campaign (6-0 away on 04/09/2025) and a gritty 1-1 draw away to Kazakhstan on 15 November where Timothy Castagne earned the match’s best player nod. Playing at Stade Maurice Dufrasne — a 27,670-seat venue that routinely amplifies the home side’s intensity — Belgium will be expected to press hard from the opening whistle and hunt an early advantage.

Liechtenstein, by contrast, arrive with little to suggest resistance. Seven defeats from seven group fixtures, zero goals scored and 24 conceded paints a stark picture: a side leaking goals and lacking offensive bite. Their most recent outing ended 0-1 at home to Wales on 15 November, where goalkeeper Benjamin Büchel’s performance earned the highest rating for the visitors but could not change a pattern that has seen their shots average sit at barely 2.43 per match. Against a Belgium side averaging over 22 shots and nearly 10 corners per game, Liechtenstein will likely be forced into a compact, reactive approach that invites pressure.

Key tactical themes and what to expect

Expect Belgium to dominate possession and territory, generating the lion’s share of dangerous attacks (their data shows a high dangerous attacks average) and working to create overloads inside the box. Liechtenstein’s defensive frailties and lack of goals suggest they will struggle to counter; their average of zero goals scored in seven matches and a shots-on-target total of six for the whole campaign underline that reality. The head-to-head history — a recent 6-0 defeat for Liechtenstein — adds a psychological edge in Belgium’s favor and points toward a game that could open up early.

Betting suggestion Belgium’s superior firepower, home advantage and an unblemished record against Liechtenstein make the clearest market choice: back Belgium to win (1X2). This is the most straightforward and value-driven selection given the data — Belgium should secure a routine victory. As always, stake responsibly and consider match dynamics (lineups and odds) before placing your bet.
