Belgium v North Macedonia: Match preview

It appears as if a three-horse race is appearing in Group J, with North Macedonia, Belgium and Wales all vying for top spot with four games left to go.

Garcia's side will be the favourites given their international pedigree, although you can't write off either of the others with some huge games to come over the next few months.

Belgium will be wary of the threat posed by Craig Bellamy's side, who also have 10 points, as defeat against North Macedonia would give their rivals an almighty boost before they play each other on October 13.

Captain Youri Tielemans is out of the side, so that could mean Aston Villa team-mate Amadou Onana may come in to replace him.

As for North Macedonia, centre-backs Gjoko Zajkov and Andrej Stojchevski may start ahead of shot-stopper Stole Dimitrievski, with strikers Bojan Miovski and Aleksandar Trajkovski hoping to show their qualities against tough opposition.
