Belgium welcome North Macedonia to Ghelamco Arena on Friday evening for a key World Cup qualifier. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The match, scheduled for a 19:45 kick off, will be the sixth meeting between the two nations and will determine who takes charge of Group J. Can Belgium continue their good form or will North Macedonia claim a surprise win and move four points clear in their group?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best bets and predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Belgium have a wealth of talent at their disposal but they currently sit second in Group J, having dropped points against North Macedonia in the return leg of this fixture. We’re confident that the Red Devils will come out on top, with home advantage being key for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Win Both Halves – Belgium<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/10 @ Bet365<\/a>
(43.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBelgium come into this game in great form, winning their last three matches and scoring 16 goals in that time. They’ve beaten Wales by a 4-3 scoreline before dismantling both Liechtenstein and Kazakhstan 6-0. North Macedonia have beaten both of those last two nations in their last three games but experienced a loss to Saudi Arabia to punctuate them. We’re backing Belgium to come out on top in both halves, at a really interesting price, due to their superior talent pool and home advantage.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
