Belgium vs Wales Prediction 9 June 2025

While Belgium remains a heavyweight in European football, the team is undeniably going through a transitional phase. Their recent performances have been inconsistent—although they managed to retain their place in Nations League Division A after a two-legged battle with Ukraine (1:3, 3:0), the Red Devils stumbled in their opening qualifier, drawing 1-1 with North Macedonia. This sluggish start has raised questions about their form and readiness for the campaign ahead.

Wales, by contrast, has made an excellent start to their qualifying journey. Sitting atop Group J with seven points and a +5 goal difference, the Dragons have looked sharp and cohesive. They earned convincing wins against Kazakhstan (3:1) and Liechtenstein (3:0), and held North Macedonia to a 1:1 draw, showcasing both attacking potency and defensive solidity. Their early momentum makes them a genuine contender in this group.

Despite Wales' strong start, bookmakers still place greater trust in Belgium, largely due to their higher overall quality and home advantage. However, this version of Wales is no pushover—they’ve shown they can compete and grind out results. While Belgium may edge it with their experience and individual talent, it’s unlikely to be a walkover. If the Dragons do fall, expect it to be by a narrow margin.
