World Cup Qualification 2026: Kazakhstan-Belgium, the likely lineups

Kazakhstan-Belgium is a match scheduled at 3 p.m. valid for Group J of the European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. The Red Devils lead the group with 14 points and dismissed the Kazakhs with six goals in the first leg: in case of victory they would be arithmetically qualified for the World Cup in North America. The hosts, on the other hand, are second-last with 7 points.

Kazakhstan with Satpaev as central point and Chesnokov and Kenzhebek on the flanks. The midfielders will be Zhukov, Karaman and Orazov.
