Comprehensive Prediction Analysis:
Although Belgium currently tops the group, their recent performance has been inconsistent: they were held to a draw by North Macedonia and Kazakhstan successively, exposing deficiencies in positional defense and offensive penetration. Analysis suggests this is related to the immature tactical system after the manager change and declining form of some core players. Especially when facing compact defenses, the team’s midfield organization lacks stability and the attack is highly volatile. However, Belgium’s overall strength is still far superior to their opponent in this match. Belgium usually adopts a 4-3-3 dynamic system, focusing on high-pressing and wide breakthroughs, with a 68% possession rate and top-tier set-piece and offensive-defensive capabilities, though they are vulnerable to counterattacks due to slow recovery.
Liechtenstein has struggled in this round of qualifiers, scoring 0 goals and conceding 24 so far, making them the team with the worst offensive and defensive data among all participants. Despite showing certain defensive resilience in their last match against Wales, there is a huge gap in overall strength with Belgium. Facing the fully committed "Red Devils", their chances of getting points away from home are slim. The team mainly uses a 5-4-1 counterattacking defensive system, emphasizing full-team retreat and long-ball tactics, with active midfield tackling but only a 5% counterattack success rate. Their center-backs are weak in aerial clearances and full-backs lack pace in turnovers.
Summary:
Belgium returns to home ground in this round, getting rid of unfavorable away conditions (such as artificial turf and harsh cold weather), which will significantly improve players’ adaptability and game control. In addition, the qualification situation is clear—winning will secure promotion, so the team’s motivation and focus are at a high level. In terms of Asian Handicap, the initial line opened with Belgium as -5.5 favorites, reflecting the huge gap in strength between the two teams. Although Belgium’s recent form is fluctuating, a home victory is still highly likely against Liechtenstein, who are far inferior in strength and have been eliminated in advance. Driven by this crucial qualification match, Belgium is expected to lock in a spot in the World Cup with a victory.
