20h27: At the end of the contract, Roberto Martinez might also leave the national team next winter. But who should replace him? Frédéric Gounongbe already has a clear opinion on the matter, with 3 names in mind.
20h06: We will also appreciate the optimism of a Belgian supporter who always seems to bet on Charly Musonda, who has forgotten that he was a football player.
19h53: In the centre, Welsh fans returned to clean up following their passing. A gesture hailed by the Brussels police on social networks. We validate!
19h37: A little promotional moment, it doesn’t hurt: see you at 8 p.m. on RTL PLAY for the pre-match and at 8:30 p.m. on RTL TVI.
19h21: The Belgian composition fell, with the surprise: Debast is the starter!
19h15: Good evening everyone, welcome to this live from Belgium-Wales! We hope you’re hot, because we are. Kick-off at 8:45 p.m. in Brussels. Note that this will be the first time that our Red Devils will wear their new jersey.

The pre-game
Two months before taking action in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the Red Devils are approaching the first of their last two games at stake which will serve as a final rehearsal. This Thursday evening, Roberto Martinez’s players will play their last match on Belgian soil at 8:45 p.m. at the King Baudouin stadium once morest Wales in their 5th Nations League match.
Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.), at the ArenA in Amsterdam, the Devils will challenge the Netherlands at the conclusion of this group stage. Then the Devils will not see each other once more until November 14 and will play a last official match once morest Egypt on November 18 in Kuwait City. It will then be the kick-off of the World Cup once morest Canada on November 23.
With three points behind the Oranje, the chances of Diables Rouges winning this group 4 of League A and joining the Final Four of this 3rd edition of the League of Nations in June 2023 are slim since the 1-4 defeat once morest to the Dutch on June 3 in Brussels.
This would require Belgium to win its last two matches and the last by four goals unless the Netherlands lose points on Thursday in Warsaw once morest Poland. In the eyes of the national coach, the duel once morest the Welsh will serve above all to make his final choices before flying to the Persian Gulf. On the list of 26 Devils there are still a few places to take, especially in defense where the place of third central alongside Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen remains to be filled. Thursday, Leander Dendoncker who had already fulfilled this role successfully once morest Poland, should be renewed.
In attack in the absence of Romelu Lukaku, Michy Batshuayi should hold for the 22nd time in 46 selections (25 goals), as on June 11 in Cardiff once morest these same Welsh. We will also follow the performance of Eden Hazard who still does not manage to return to favor with Real and who therefore lacks rhythm at the highest level. The meeting will allow before kick-off to pay tribute to former Devils of this “golden generation” who have retired: Vincent Kompany, Thomas Vermaelen and Mousa Dembélé. L
The Devils will wear their new jacket on this occasion, which will be that of the Mondial. At the end of the match, Oscar and the Wolf will perform live “Warrior”, the official anthem of the Red Devils during their campaign in Qatar. Tickets for the match will be on sale until Thursday at 6:30 p.m. The Belgian Union has set up a carpooling project to get to the stadium
