Belgium vs Wales Prediction

Belgium look good before their upcoming match, in which they seek to remain unbeaten. In their last three matches, they first beat Poland by 6-1, before drawing 1-1 with Wales. They were back as winners last time out, when they took out Poland 0-1. Belgium won four of their past six matches on home soil, where they also drew zero and lost two. They scored 18 goals and conceded nine times.

Wales were only able to take one point from their past three games. They came up short in a 1-2 defeat against Netherlands before drawing 1-1 with Belgium. They were defeated once again, when Netherlands ran out 3-2 winners. Wales claimed two wins against two draws and two defeats in their last six away matches. The scoreline from these matches reads nine goals conceded and nine scored.

After collecting seven points from their first four UEFA Nations League matches, Belgium still have a good chance of seeing the next stage. To claim first place requires a win in this fifth round match, while second place remains possible with a draw.

Belgium and Wales both came away with a point in their two meetings, which both fizzled out in a tight 1-1 draw. With such a good reading on each other, the draw could easily come into question again on Thursday.

Belgium are on a nice streak of scoring at least once in their previous 48 matches.
