Belarus vs Belgium Predictions

• Belgium have scored 31 goals in their 12 internationals played in 2021 (average 2.58).
• Belarus have lost their last four matches.
• Belgium beat Belarus 8-0 in March while resting a number of key players.

Tired legs could be a factor in Kazan

Belgium cleared their biggest remaining hurdle in their bid to qualify automatically from Group E when they beat Czech Republic 3-0 on Saturday.

Roberto Martinez will want his team to finish the three-game international break on a high with another victory so he can put thoughts of Qatar 2022 to bed and focus on winning the Uefa Nations League next month.

A trip to Russia to face a struggling Belarus side will offer him the chance to rest key players’ legs and test the depth in his squad.

The state of Belarus’ defence must be a concern if a Wales team that had failed to score in 270 minutes of football prior to Saturday’s game could it three against them.

Their last clean sheet was eight games ago and since then have shipped 20 goals – eight of which were scored by Wednesday’s opponents.

Belgium have scored 27 goals in their last ten competitive away games outside of the Euro 2020 Finals, although almost a third of those came from Romelu Lukaku – who is one that could be rested.

Georgi Kondratiev doesn’t have the ability to rotate as much as his Spanish counterpart so tired legs could be a major factor in how they approach this game.

We’re behind the buoyant Belgians to prevail at a canter again because of the added freshness that Martinez can introduce for this fixture.

Our selection of a 4-0 correct score bet reflects how easily Belgium dispatched Belarus at home a few months ago and the likelihood that the Red Devils won’t demonstrate the same appetite for goals on the road.
