Estonia hosts Belgium in round 4 of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, September 2nd at Le Coq Arena (Tallinn)
Estonia is in the last 5th place without any points scored. The Blueshirts lost to the Czech Republic (2-6) and Belarus (4-2). Estonia's start in this qualification has been blurred due to the coronavirus. Due to a positive test for COVID-19 of one player, the entire squad and the coaching staff went to quarantine. Estonia had to gather a virtually new team, which was temporarily headed by ex-coach of the Estonians Martin Reim. The Blueshirts didn’t play at the Euro, but they had a competitive practice in the summer. The Estonians held a test match against Finland (1-0) in June and won the friendly Baltic Cup thanks to victories over Lithuania (1-0) and Latvia (2-1). Haberli's coaching staff decided on a final roster of 27 players on August 24th. This time, the Estonian national team managed to gather the strongest lineup with all the leaders led by the team's veteran Konstantin Vassiljev.

Belgium leads in Group E (seven points after three games). The Red Devils started the qualification with a home victory over Wales (3-1). Then they tied the Czech Republic away (1-1) and destroyed Belarus at home (8-0). At Euro 2020, the Belgians were among the main favorites. They didn’t have any problems in the group round, gaining nine points in matches against Russia (3-0), Denmark (2-1) and Finland (2-0). In the 1/8 finals, Martinez's team defeated the then-current champions of the continent, the Portuguese (0-1), but in the 1/4 finals, the Devils lost to future winners from Italy (1-2). Belgium’s roster, which was announced on August 26, did not include the key player of the national team, Kevin de Bruyne. The Man City midfielder won’t play until the middle of next month due to an ankle injury. Beyond that, the Belgians do not count on the help of midfielder Jeremy Doku and striker Dries Mertens.
There is no intrigue in this match. The Estonians do not have the human resources to fight with the current Belgium national team. The only thing that will save the home team from an impressive thumping is the calendar. Three days after the game in Tallinn, the Red Devils will be hosting the uncompromising Czechs, who have already taken points from Martinez's team in this cycle. The coaching staff of the Belgian national team will try to achieve victory in Tallinn with minimal effort. For this reason, one can take a risk and assume that at least two goals will be scored by the break.
Prediction for the match: Belgium to score over 1.5 goals in the first half
