Unbeaten in <strong>35 straight World Cup qualifiers (W27, D8)<\/strong>, Belgium haven\u2019t lost in this competition for over a decade. Their firepower at home has also been impressive\u2014<strong>ten goals in their last two WCQ home victories<\/strong> before the rare stumble against North Macedonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with the top spot nearly assured, the Red Devils will be out to make a statement. Their high-scoring trend is also notable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Four of their last six matches produced 6+ goals<\/strong>, highlighting their attacking potential against weaker opponents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liechtenstein: Still Searching for a Goal, Let Alone a Point<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Liechtenstein\u2019s reality is grim.
