The top ranked team in the world, Belgium, has a date with 110th placed Estonia in a Group E clash in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. The two sides are on separate ends of the standings, with Belgium top on seven points while Estonia are bottom without a point. Estonia was the last team to beat Belgium in a World Cup qualification game, that was back in 2009, a 2-0 win at home. That remains their only win over Belgium in history. Estonia will want to make it two here and they’ve warmed up with three straight wins though against much weaker opposition. In World Cup qualification matches, Estonia have three straight losses, including two in this group. They have conceded two or more in the last three matches in World Cup qualification but they’ve scored in each of their last five. Their last four matches in World Cup qualification have seen over 2.5 goals scored and they have two clean sheets in five. At home, they have four losses in five qualification matches, while they have just four wins in their last 20 home matches.

Belgium have one loss in their last five matches – it was inflicted by Italy at Euro 2020. They go into this game on a very strong footing, with three clean sheets in their last five matches, and they’ve scored in all the five. In three of their last five matches, Belgium have scored two or more goals. It will be crucial to note that most of their players are doing well in the top leagues in Europe, which further boosts their favorites status. The loss to Italy was their only defeat in the last 14 matches; in that run, they have 10 wins. Belgium are unbeaten in their last 23 World Cup qualification after the loss to Estonia in 2009.
