Belgium hosts Estonia in round 9 of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Saturday, November 13th at King Baudouin Stadium (Brussels)
The national team of Belgium is in 1st place in the qualifying group with 16 points. The Red Devils gained five victories and one draw in six rounds. The Belgians are close to guaranteeing participation in the World Championship. To win the group, Martinez's footballers, who have an excellent goal difference, may need one point scored in matches against Estonia and Wales. The Red Devils looked less confident in the decisive stage of the 2020/21 Nations League. The Belgian national team lost to the French in the semifinals (2-3) and then was weaker than Italy in the bronze medal match (1-2).

The national team of Estonia is on the 4th line in the standings with four points. The Blueshirts chalked up one victory, one draw, and four defeats in six matches. The Balts were not initially considered the favorites of the group, so their weak performance in this qualification was expected. However, the Estonian national team demonstrated local successes like an away draw against Wales (0-0) and a home victory over Belarus (2-0). The last match of Haberli's players was on October 11. The Blueshirts lost to the Welsh at home (0-1), conceding a quick goal.
Estonia and Belgium crossed paths in the match of the 4th round of qualification for the 2022 World Cup. The game on September 2 in Tallinn ended with the victory of the Belgians with a score of 2-5. Romelu Lukaku scored twice, and Hans Vanaken, Axel Witsel, and Thomas Foket scored a goal each. The Blueshirts responded with accurate shots from Mattias Käit and Erik Sorga. The Belgians are the clear favorites of the upcoming game in Brussels. Even without Lukaku, the home team must defeat the Balts and guarantee the 1st place in the group ahead of schedule. There are only two intrigues: what will be the production of the hosts and whether the visitors will be able to upset the Belgian goalkeeper, as they did in the match in Tallinn. Failures in the Nations League in October will spur the Red Devils to prove themselves in front of the home stands. Belgium scored five goals in the 1st match against the Estonians, and it is quite possible that the favorites will repeat this result.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
