I'm treating this match as a free hit for Wales, even if Wales were seen as being on a par with Belgium (most see Belgium as a level higher) then with home advantage the home team should win.
This is a very big game as regards qualifiction if Belgium win it won't be all over but Belgium will be strong favourites to secure top spot in the group and automatic qualification, if its a draw it will be all to play for with Wales hopes of top spot being very much alive, if Wales win it will be advantage Wales but with still work to do.

Nico will be a big miss out in Brussels, his replacement done well against Liechtenstein but Belgium is no Liechtenstein.

This mirrors my conversation in Cardiff last night. Dasilva did well but was under no pressure at all.

WE need Khazakstan to get something today. Right now. If N Macedonia win and we draw in Belgium there will be 3 unbeaten teams on 8pts after 4 games. We need this to be a shootout between us and Belgium

Even stats in game so far 0-0 on 34 mins.

And wtf just as I write this NM take a 1-0 lead
