Belgium play their second game of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers when they face Czech Republic in Prague on Saturday.
In their previous game, Belgium beat Wales 3-1 at the King Power Stadium in Leuven. Harry Wilson gave Wales the lead in the 10th minute to boost Welsh hopes, but that was quickly shut down.
Kevin de Bruyne and Thorgan Hazard gave Belgium the lead before halftime. A Romelu Lukaku penalty in the second half secured the points for the Belgians.
The Czech Republic and Belgium are the favorites to finish in the top two of this group, which also consists of Belarus, Estonia and Wales.
The Czechs began their campaign with a comfortable win as they beat Estonia 6-2 in Talinn on Wednesday night.
Tomas Soucek continued his magnificent form this season, scoring a hat-trick in that game to get the Czech campaign off to the ideal start.
