Belgium vs North Macedonia Prediction: Match Preview and Analysis | UEFA World Cup Qualifiers – Group J
On Friday, October 10, at the Planet Group Arena in Ghent, a top-of-the-table clash in Group J of the World Cup qualifiers takes place between Belgium and North Macedonia, currently second and first in the group. The home team has so far collected 10 points, one less than their opponents but with a game in hand. With a victory, they would leap to the top of the table and, having an extra game to play, could easily move closer to winning the group and securing direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup. North Macedonia, on the other hand, will do everything to avoid their first defeat in this World Cup qualifying campaign, maintain their lead at the top of the standings, and keep Wales, just one point behind, at bay. Given the strong balance in this group, with the top three teams separated by only a single point, any slip-up could seriously compromise the race for the top two spots. For this reason, a high-intensity match is expected that, regardless of the final result, will reshape the top of Group J.
