Belgium vs Wales Prediction and Betting Preview

Wales, who are no longer able to qualify for the coming World Cup travel to Belgium on Tuesday to try and salvage some pride from another poor qualification campaign and we have footbal betting tips for the match.

Belgium’s 2-1 win against Croatia on Friday means that they have already booked their place in Brazil and will themselves be playing for merely the icing on the cake. This Wales team which is without Gareth Bale are travelling to play one of the most backed teams for he 2014 World Cup, with punters convinced that their Golden generation have what it takes to upset some of the competitions more traditional favourites such as Brazil, Germany and holders Spain. Regardless of the unimportance of the game both teams are expected to field strong sides, with Craig Bellamy set to play his final game for the international side.

Belgium come into this game unbeaten in 2013, their 100% win record only halted by a 0-0 draw in a friendly against France. Wales on the other hand have won only 3 of their 8 games this year, losing 4. This statistic is more worrying when you realise they are yet to beat a team by more than one goal, and their victories have been against Scotland, Austria and Macedonia. After considering all of this it makes Paddy Power's odds of 12/1 for a Wales win understanding:

Considering that this is a game that probably means more to the Welsh than to the Belgians this isn’t a terrible bet. However, I still feel that Belgium have to much quality to be beaten by this Wales side. A straight Belgium to win bet doesn’t seem very attractive to me at 1/5 though, so my football tip if you fancy a risk is going to be a scorecast, once again with Paddy Power, go with Belgium to win 3-1 and Lukaku first scorer at 22/1. 

For the more sensible gamblers though I’m going to suggest a bet with Coral on Kevin Mirallas first goalscorer at 4/1. He’s the highest scoring attacking player in the Belgium squad at the moment and I fancy him to start on Tuesday after coming off the bench against Croatia
