Belgium vs Kazakhstan Prediction and Betting Tips

Belgium and Kazakhstan return to action in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers when they square off at Lotto Park on Sunday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results, with Ali Aliyev’s men suffering a narrow home defeat against Wales.

Belgium turned in another performance of the highest quality on Thursday when they cruised to a 6-0 victory over Liechtenstein at the Rheinpark Stadion.

Before that, Rudi Garcia’s side kicked off their quest for a fourth straight World Cup appearance with a somewhat disappointing 1-1 draw with North Macedonia on June 6, three days before bouncing back in a thrilling 4-3 victory over Wales.

Belgium have picked up seven points from their three qualifying matches so far to sit third in the Group J standings, three points behind first-placed Wales, albeit with two games in hand.

On the other hand, Kazakhstan were left empty-handed once again as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Wales at the Astana Arena.

Aliyev’s men have lost four of their last five matches across all competitions, with a 2-0 victory over Liechtenstein on March 25 being the exception.

With three points from their four matches so far, Kazakhstan are currently bottom but one in the Group J table, only above Liechtenstein, who have lost their four games so far.
