Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is almost certain to keep goal for Belgium, while duo Zeno Debast and Arthur Theate are likely to be selected in central defence.

Midfielder Youri Tielemans, a regular in the starting line-up, is out injured. His absence could open up opportunities for Amadou Onana and Nicolas Raskin.

Kevin De Bruyne will likely play in the attacking midfield position, between the two wingers Jeremy Doku and Leandro Trossard.

For North Macedonia, two central defenders Gjoko Zajkov and Andrej Stojchevski could start in front of goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski.

Up front, Bojan Miovski and Aleksandar Trajkovski will look to the midfield duo Enis Bardhi and Isnik Alimi for support in the final attack.

Latest football commentary on Belgium vs North Macedonia

The hosts had a thumping 6-0 win over Kazakhstan on September 7, taking their tally to 17 goals in just four group stage games.

Coach Rudi Garcia's team has had two consecutive wins with the same score of 6-0, although they had previously conceded two or more goals in five of their last nine matches.

Belgium will need to be wary of the threat posed by Wales, who are third on 10 points. A defeat to North Macedonia could upset the group, especially with the two teams set to meet on October 13.

Failure to qualify for the World Cup would be disastrous for Belgium, who have made it out of the group stage in eight of the last nine World Cups.

The Red Devils' recent form has been improving: they are unbeaten in five consecutive matches (four wins, one draw), in contrast to the previous six matches which only saw draws and losses.

Belgium have scored at least three goals in their last three home games and won all of them, although they had previously lost two in a row at the Planet Group Arena.

On the other side, North Macedonia just had a 5-0 win over Liechtenstein on September 7, limiting their opponents to just 0.09 xG and one shot on target — not even conceding a shot in the first half.

If they qualify for the World Cup, it will be the first time in their history since becoming an independent nation in 1991. Before that, the only time North Macedonia had appeared in a major tournament was Euro 2020.

The visitors have faced Belgium five times but have yet to win a game. Despite losing three times, they held the “Red Devils” to a 1-1 draw in June.

Coach Blagoja Milevski has a record of two wins, two draws and one loss in his last five matches in charge of the team, after a previous six-match winning streak.

North Macedonia are also in good form away from home with four consecutive wins in official competitions, although they did lose 1-2 to Saudi Arabia in a friendly on September 4.
