-------------------------------
Match Preview:
The hosts triumphed 6-0 when they faced Kazakhstan on September 7, and they have now scored 17 times in their four group outings.

Rudi Garcia's side's win was their second consecutive 6-0 victory, but they did concede two or more goals in five of their previous nine.

Belgium will be wary of the threat posed by third-placed Wales, who also have 10 points, as defeat against North Macedonia would give their group rivals a significant boost before they play each other on October 13.

Failure to qualify for the World Cup would be seen as a disaster considering the nation have reached the group stage of eight of the past nine editions of the competition.

North Macedonia beat Liechtenstein 5-0 on September 7, limiting their opponents to just 0.09 xG and one shot on target, while they also did not face a single attempt in the first half.

Qualifying for the World Cup would be a first for Lavovi since they became an independent nation in 1991, with their only appearance in a major competition coming in Euro 2020.

The visitors have faced Belgium five times but are still searching for their first win, but while they were beaten in three of those clashes, they did hold the Red Devils to a 1-1 stalemate in June.

Match Prediction:
Friday's clash is set to be a tense affair given the result will have significant ramifications on World Cup qualifying for both teams.

Belgium's form is strong, and while North Macedonia's record on their travels is excellent, perhaps home advantage could prove to be the difference for the reinvigorated hosts.
