Belgium vs North Macedonia prediction
Following the appointment of Rudi Garcia, Belgium are getting good results but their level of performance is a concern. They hammered both Liechtenstein and then Kazakhstan by six goals to nil last month, but the former saw them goalless at half-time and the latter score them goalless until the 42nd minute.
They now face a North Macedonia side that have put in some enterprising performances with some exciting talent in their squad. The Macedonians most recently thrashed Liechtenstein by five goals to nil last month, and they are top of Group J, sitting a point ahead of the Belgians but Belgium to have a game-in-hand.
North Macedonia will fancy themselves to go to Belgium with a bit of attacking intent and, whilst the hosts remain favourites, it could be fun to watch for the neutral.
