Belgium recovered from their Euro 2020 disappointment with a 5-2 win over Estonia in their fourth game of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Group E. The win saw them stretch their lead in the group to 10 points and will be at home to face second placed Czech Republic, who have seven points. Belgium have four wins in the last five matches but are still struggling defensively, having managed two clean sheets only in the last five and have conceded four goals in their last two games. Against Estonia, they were forced to come from behind; in-form Romelu Lukaku scored two in the game. The Chelsea forward has now netted four in Belgium’s last four matches and he has five in Belgium’s last five World Cup qualification matches. Belgium are unbeaten in 24 World Cup qualification matches, winning 20. At home, they have four straight wins in the qualifiers.

In the last six meetings between these two nations, Belgium have three wins and Czech Republic two. Czech are coming from a 1-0 win over Belarus and after a 1-1 draw with Belgium in the first meeting, they’ll be hoping to leave with three points from this clash. In their last eight World Cup qualification matches, Czech Republic have three losses, and in the last 10 they’ve kept three clean sheets. Away from home, they have no clean sheet in the last five in World Cup qualification, while both teams have scored in three of the five away matches in this competition.
