"I can't predict the score, nor whether there will be goals, but our only objective is to win, even if, to be honest, a draw wouldn't be the worst result."
"These are the games you dream of as a player or coach - high stakes, an electric atmosphere and fans who live every pass. This is football at its best. We are ready to absorb the energy and give it our all. Honestly, it's better than playing in ghost stadiums or against nothing any day."
Belgium sit second in Group J after a 0-0 draw with North Macedonia, one point behind the leaders with a game in hand. A loss to Wales would leave Belgium's qualification fate partly dependent on other results during the November break. Belgium have won six of nine World Cup qualifying meetings with Wales and remain unbeaten in their last five encounters. Wales have three qualifiers remaining, recently lost 3-0 in a friendly to England, and have lost only one of their last 14 home World Cup qualifiers (W9 D4). The Cardiff match carries high stakes with both sides aiming to secure control of their qualification path.
