The first international break of the 2025/26 season sees World Cup qualifying action continue, with Liechtenstein welcoming Belgium on Thursday. The hosts come into the game on a poor run of form, having struggled defensively and conceded heavily in recent outings. Belgium, meanwhile, will view this as an opportunity to boost their goal difference and take full advantage of Liechtenstein’s vulnerabilities at the back.

Football Park’s Best Bet: Over 4.5 Goals @ 1.52 (Kwiff).
Romelu Lukaku (Belgium)
Belgium’s all-time leading scorer remains their focal point in attack. His strength, positioning and finishing make him a constant threat, and against a vulnerable Liechtenstein defence, he’ll be expected to add to his tally.
Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium)
The Napoli midfielder is Belgium’s creative heartbeat. His passing range, vision and ability to unlock defences will be crucial in breaking down Liechtenstein’s deep-lying setup. If he finds space, Belgium will almost certainly create chances.
Benjamin Büchel (Liechtenstein)
The experienced goalkeeper will need to be at his absolute best to keep Belgium at bay. With Lukaku, De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku bearing down on him, Büchel’s shot-stopping and composure will be vital in keeping the scoreline respectable.
Nicolas Hasler (Liechtenstein)
The captain and most experienced outfield player, Hasler’s work rate and leadership in midfield will be key if Liechtenstein are to disrupt Belgium’s rhythm. His ability to link defence and attack gives the hosts a fighting chance of creating something on the break.
