Team Reviews
North Macedonia (Rank 66, 1st in Group J, 4 points)
Form: 1W-1D-0L; recent 3-0 win vs. Liechtenstein, 1-1 draw vs. Wales.
Strengths: Unbeaten in last 8 home World Cup qualifiers (W4-D4), including draws vs. Italy and England. Bojan Miovski (Girona) and Eljif Elmas (RB Leipzig) lead a dynamic attack. Coach Blagoje Milevski’s organized 4-2-3-1 maximizes home support at Toše Proeski Arena, Skopje.
Weaknesses: Defensive lapses, as seen in late concession vs. Wales. Limited squad depth compared to elite teams. No major tournament since Euro 2020.
Key Players: Miovski (scored vs. Wales), Elmas, Stole Dimitrievski (GK).

Belgium (Rank 6, Unranked in Group J, 0 points)
Form: Yet to play qualifiers due to UEFA Nations League; 3-1 loss and 3-0 win vs. Ukraine in March 2025 play-offs preserved League A status. Recent form: 2W-0D-3L.
Strengths: Star-studded squad with Romelu Lukaku (3 goals in Nations League play-offs), Kevin De Bruyne, and Jeremy Doku. Coach Rudi Garcia’s attacking style aims to dominate possession. Unbeaten in last 28 World Cup qualifiers (W23-D5).
Weaknesses: Defensive issues (1.4 goals conceded per game in last 5). Injuries (Thibaut Courtois, back issue) and Garcia’s shaky start raise concerns. Away form inconsistent (2W-1D-2L in last 5).
Key Players: Lukaku, De Bruyne, Doku.

Head-to-Head Analysis
Record: 2 matches (2013 qualifiers); Belgium won both (2-0 home, 1-0 away). Total goals: Belgium 3-0.
Trends: Low-scoring games (under 2.5 goals). Belgium’s defensive solidity stifled North Macedonia, who failed to score. North Macedonia’s recent home resilience could challenge this trend.

Prediction: North Macedonia 1-2 Belgium
North Macedonia, atop Group J, leverage home advantage in Skopje (8:45 PM CET). Belgium, starting their campaign, aim for a statement win to chase the group lead. North Macedonia’s home form (unbeaten in 8 qualifiers) meets Belgium’s superior quality but shaky defense. Miovski and Elmas can exploit gaps, but Lukaku and De Bruyne’s class should secure a narrow victory. Social media (@BelgianPlayers, @thepicks_usa) favors Belgium but notes North Macedonia’s home threat.
Belgium’s attacking firepower and historical edge outweigh North Macedonia’s resilience. A tight game is expected, with Belgium’s clinical finishing deciding it, aligning with H2H trends.
