World Cup qualifiers 2026: Belgium-Liechtenstein, the likely lineups

Testablishment in the final day of Group J of World Cup 2026 qualifiers where Belgium hosts Liechtenstein. Kickoff at 8:45 p.m. at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne in Liege. The Red Devils, leaders but not yet mathematically qualified, are looking for the decisive points to secure access to the next rainbow event, while the guests, last and already out of the world race, face yet another prohibitive challenge on their path.

Rudi Garcia should confirm the trident composed of Trossard, De Ketelaere (Atalanta), and Doku, deployed behind Lukebakio, who will act as an offensive reference. Midfield dike formed by Tielemans and Onana, defense headed by the Faes-Debast pair.

On the opposite front, Funfstuck could reintroduce his classic 3-5-2: Luchinger, Hasler and Sele in the middle of the field, with Saglam and Luque-Notaro in attack, although the latter remains in doubt, sore from the last match against Wales.

Probable lineups

Belgium (4-2-3-1): Sels; Meunier, Faes, Debast, de Cuyper; Tielemans, Onana; Trossard, De Ketelaere, Doku; Lukebakio. Coach: Garcia.

Liechtenstein (3-5-2): Buchel; Traber, Malin, Hofer; Kindle, Luchinger, Hasler, Sele, Goppel; Saglam, Luque-Notaro. Coach: Funfstuck.
