In the 6th round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in Europe, a match between the national teams of Belgium and Kazakhstan will take place on September 7, 2025.
Our Prediction for the Belgium vs Kazakhstan Match
Belgium reached the Euro knockout stage not without difficulty but immediately lost to France there. Later, in the Nations League, they only managed to claim third place over modest Israel—a debutant in Division A—thanks to additional tie-breakers. As a result, they had to play playoff matches against Ukraine, where new head coach Rudi Garcia started with a 3-1 win, but after regrouping, the team crushed their opponent in the deciding match. In World Cup qualification, they began with a draw against North Macedonia before narrowly beating Wales 4-3 at home.
Kazakhstan continued to struggle last autumn. They picked up only one point in a group with Norway, Austria, and Slovenia in the Nations League. In 2025, they lost to Wales and North Macedonia, and even suffered a 1-4 defeat to Belarus in a friendly. However, they did manage to beat Liechtenstein and Curaçao in another friendly match.
The September round began for De Bruyne and company with a trip to Liechtenstein, where they opened the scoring at the half-hour mark and found their rhythm after the break. Kazakhstan, in their previous match, hosted Wales and the match was decided by Moore’s only goal in the 24th minute—the score did not change after that.
