Belgium's picture is brighter overall, with eight wins from their last fourteen games and plenty of goals scored. That said, their very next most recent outing was a 4-1 defeat away to France, so their form has had its dips as well.

Belgium's broader numbers are stronger, but their last match shows they're not unbeatable.

Comparative Team Statistics: Türkiye vs Belgium

They've already met this month

The only meeting on record between these two came on the second of October, and it was a comfortable 3-0 win for Belgium on home soil. That's the freshest form guide either side has against the other.

With the venue now reversed, that scoreline on its own doesn't guarantee the same outcome, but it's a recent and relevant data point.

Key men from that last meeting

In the October game, Dodi Lukebakio got on the scoresheet for Belgium, with Kevin De Bruyne and Charles De Ketelaere both chipping in with assists. Several Belgium players picked up yellow cards that night, including Romelu Lukaku and Romeo Lavia.

The bigger moment went against Türkiye, though, as goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır was sent off in that match. A repeat of that kind of setback would make life even harder for the hosts this time.

Discipline problems hurt Türkiye last time out, and that's worth keeping in mind again.

What to expect this time

Türkiye will want a reaction after four losses on the spin, and doing it in front of their own fans gives them some incentive. But their home form in this sample hasn't been convincing, with defeats to Italy and France there too.

Belgium arrive full of goals scored across their recent matches, though their away record has wobbled, including that 4-1 loss to France. The ingredients are there for goals at both ends, even if Belgium look the stronger side on the evidence available.
