Belgium to win another high scoring game
Wales must beat Belgium at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday evening to have any realistic hopes of avoiding relegation from their UEFA Nations League pool. The visitors followed up a 4-1 home reverse against rivals Netherlands with a 6-1 thumping of Poland. One thing that will be guaranteed in this encounter is goals. Read our preview here:
Hard to ig-Norr
Rob Page's men thought they'd grabbed a draw against Oranje with a late equaliser, only for Wout Weghorst to strike deep into injury time. Some of the more seasoned pros will be restored to the lineup for this encounter, including Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey. On the left flank, Rhys Norrington-Davies should be an important component in limiting their opponents to more central attacks. The Sheffield United wing-back is renowned for being hard to beat on the dribble.
Den bones
Whilst Roberto Martinez has still to find a defensive strategy and group that strikes the right balance, he certainly has individuals that can bail his side out of almost any situation. Loïs Openda is a new name in the senior setup, and the Club Brugge striker marked his debut with the sixth goals against Poland. Elsewhere, Leander Dendoncker, having spent the vast majority of his season with Wolves in midfield, was deployed as the right-sided centre back in the previous game for his national side to great effect, both nullifying Orły in his own third whilst contributing greatly at the other end, including getting a goal of his own.
