Belgium hosts Kazakhstan in round 3 of Euro Qualification. The match will be played on Saturday, June 8th at King Baudouin Stadium (Brussels)
The Belgians did not arrange hammerings in the starting matches of the qualifying campaign but took their 6 points confidently. And 5 goals scored for 2 meetings is a good fixture. With that, The Red Devils broke the well-organized defense of the Russians in the home field. In Cyprus, they made the result by the middle of the 1st half, giving the initiative to the opponent. Martinez did not reinvent the wheel and called the strongest players to the national team (with the exception of injured De Bruyne). Roberto did not give the opportunity to rest even to Hazard, who had recently played in the Europa League final.

Kazakhstan acted in the starting rounds of Euro 2020 qualifiers rather ambiguously. On the one hand, the Kazakhs defeated the Scots; on the other, they somehow lost at home to the Russians. Moreover, the Kazakhs lost to Cherchesov's men with a large score (0-4), having lost in Kazakhstan with a difference of more than 3 goals for the first time since 2005. The national team of Belgium has higher chances for success. The Kazakhs, who got accustomed to playing on the artificial cover, act even worse away. In the framework of the Nations League, for example, the Kazakhs lost to the Georgians and played a draw with Andorra away. In the qualifying campaign for the World Cup, Kazakhstan lost all 5 away games, conceding 17 goals in total.
I do not think that Kazakhstan will be able to furnish resistance. If someone compares the matches in KPL and, for example, in APL, he immediately notices how low the speeds in the Kazakhstan championship are. The upcoming visitors will simply not keep pace with the hosts. Moreover, the Belgians have fleet-footed footballers. It is not surprising that the Kazakhs failed in defense even in the games with non-top European teams, if we look at the qualification for the World Cup. Romanians, Poles, Montenegrins, Danes scored at least 3 goals to the Kazakhs’ net, and probably the Belgians, with their star-spangled squad, will arrange a goal extravaganza. Of course, the players have spent the difficult season, but the Red Devils are able to score 4 goals and more to the net of Kazakhstan. Even if Martinez leaves Eden on the bench, there is someone to score without him. Mertens, Thorgan Hazard, Batshuayi have perfectly approved themselves in their clubs this season.
Prediction for the match: Belgium to win with -3.5 handicap
