Belgium could draw blood in Brussels tonight

Austria are top of Group F, but Tobias Gourlay fancies Belgium to give them a reality check in Brussels

  • Belgium have won 11 home qualifiers in a row...

  • ...And scored 3+ goals every time

  • Back Belgium -1.0 on the Asian Handicap


Belgium v Austria
Saturday 19:45 (Live on Viaplay Sports 2)

In Gibraltar last night, France comfortably beat their hosts 3-0, but Mbappe only got one of the two goals we wanted from him.

We've come to Brussels today as Group F's top two go head to head. Belgium won their first outing while Austria have won their first two games of the campaign.

Domenico Tedesco has started well as Belgium boss, beating Sweden 3-0 in a qualifier, then defeating Germany 3-2 in a friendly. His team are odds-on favourites to win today.

The Red Devils have an imperious recent record in home qualifiers. They haven't lost one since Germany beat them in 2010, going W22-D6-L0 since then. They've won all of the last 11 - scoring 3+ goals in all 11.

Austria's Group F wins have come at home to Azerbaijan (4-1) and Estonia (2-1). Today's opponents - on the road - are a significant step up, even if Kevin De Bruyne is out injured.

In their last World Cup qualifying campaign, Austria lost away to Wales, Denmark and Israel. We fancy them to go down on the road again tonight.

With Belgium showing early signs of wanting to play for their new boss, we'll take the hosts to continue their excellent scoring record and win with something to spare.

Back Belgium -1.0 on the Asian Handicap @ 2.3211/8
