Wales v Belgium
Monday 13 October, 19:45
Live on S4C & BBC One Wales

Wales had no time to feel sorry themselves after last week's 3-0 friendly defeat to England at Wembley and must attend to the serious business of World Cup qualifying against Belgium. Just one point separates Kevin de Bruyne and co, who are second in Group J, from Craig Bellamy's men, so the Dragon can leapfrog the Red Devils by beating them in Cardiff.

Wales are 18/54.60, with the Draw 14/53.80 and the Belgium favourites to win 3/41.75.  Here are the pick of the Opta stats and three bets for tonight's match.

Wales v Belgium Match Bet: Back Bellamy's men

• Wales have not lost at home to Belgium since 2012 when Vincent Kompany scored in a 2-0 win for the visitors.
• The teams have subsequently met three times in Cardiff, with Wales winning once and two draws. 
• With just one defeat in their last 11 competitive home matches, Wales are tough opponents in Cardiff.

Wales v Belgium Goals Bet: Back BTTS

• Since Wales' 1-0 win over Belgium in Cardiff in June 2015, all six matches between the sides have produced goals for both teams.
• When they met in the reverse fixture of this qualifying campaign in June this year, the match ended 4-3 to Belgium. 
• We may not see seven goals tonight but all of this points to goals for both teams in Cardiff on Monday night. 

Wales v Belgium Goalscorer Bet: Back KDB to strike

Belgium are the Group's top goalscorer with 17 across their five matches and only drawing a blank once - in their 0-0 at home to Macedonia last time out. 

Kevin De Bruyne has scored four of Belgium's World Cup qualifying goals and remains key to his country's hopes of qualifying and competing with the best next summer in North America.

The Manchester City legend has already found the net three times for Napoli this season and he scored the winning goal in Belgium's 4-3 victory over Wales in June.
