The Czech Republic will host Belgium in the second round of the World Cup qualifiers from Europe on 28th March 2021 at 01:15 IST. The odds are in favor of Belgium to win the match and make it two wins in a row. After thrashing Estonia in the first round, the Czech Republic will be confident to face the top Belgium side.

Teams Status

The Czech Republic are coming on the back of a 2-6 win over a weaker Estonian side in round one. Estonia managed to score first, but the Czechs bounced back really well and put four past Estonia in the first half itself. Which was followed by two second-half goals, making it six for the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic unluckily missed out on the World cup qualification last season as they finished third in the group C topped by Germany and the second spot was taken by Northern Ireland. They had four wins, three draws and three losses in the ten qualifier matches that they played, earning 15 points in the process. They did pretty well in the UEFA Nations League as they topped group two of League B with 12 points from six matches. They won four and lost just two matches. There were eight different goal contributors in the Nations League as all of them chipped in with one goal each. The assists list also had a similar story with five players having one assist each. It is very unlikely that they will tamper with the winning combination and will stick with the same playing XI.

Belgium on the other hand are coming off a 3-1 win over Wales in the first round. Harry Wilson opened the scoring for Wales before Kevin De Bruyne and Thorgan Hazard gave Belgium the halftime lead. And then Romelu Lukaku buried the penalty to make it 3-1. In the previous World Cup qualifiers, they were exceptional as they were unbeaten in the entire campaign with nine wins and one draw. They had accumulated 28 points in the ten qualifier matches. They had scored as many as 43 goals and conceded just six goals. They have also made it to the semifinals of the Nations League as they topped with 15 points. They had five wins and one loss. Romelu Lukaku was the leading goal scorer with 11 goals with a scoring frequency of just 57 minutes per goal. He had bagged five goals in the Nations League for Belgium as he topped their scoring chart. The assist chart was led by the best midfielder in the Premier League Kevin De Bruyne. Even Belgium is likely to stick to their same winning combination.
