Attack against defense this Tuesday
Belgium still finds itself in second place following that 1-1 draw against the Czech Republic. Czech initially took the lead through Provod, however, Lukaku levelled soon after. Both sides shared the spoils in a game where the Red Devils’ winning run came to an end.
Belarus showed some fighting spirit in their own opening game against Estonia, winning 4-2. They were behind twice in the game but still managed to secure maximum points. However, we all know that Belgium would certainly be a much bigger fish to fry compared to the Estonians. How will they handle themselves against the top ranked team in the world?

Belgium vs Belarus Prediction: 2-0
The Belarusians will certainly make it difficult for the Red Devils given that only stellar defensive work might get them a point. So we expect them to try to shut up shop right from the get-go. However, the Red Devils have too much quality not to breach their defence with the likes of Mertens and De Bruyne.
