BelgiumKazakhstan

Belgium is much stronger at home than Kazakhstan, who are struggling in the group. The Belgians have won two of their last three competitive home matches with at least three goals scored, while the Kazakhs have lost all of their last six away matches, conceding a total of 15 goals and scoring just one.

• The Belgians' attacking power - De Bruyne, Doku, and Openda are in good form - more than justifies expectations of over 2 goals.
• Kazakhstan is goalless on the road: they did not manage a single shot on target in four of their last six away outings.
• The Belgians have been unbeaten in World Cup qualifiers since 2009, a home win is almost a must.
• Main risk: a lapse in concentration due to rotation or overconfidence, or an accidental Kazakh counter-goal.
