Wales travel to Belgium for their first 2022 World Cup qualifier for the campaign.
Wales face a challenging start to their 2022 World Cup qualification campaign as they prepare to face the No1 ranked team on the planet, Belgium, on Wednesday evening.
Wales failed to qualify for the previous World Cup in Russia but have high hopes of advancing to the Qatar tournament next year.
They famously beat Belgium at Euro 2016 and this will arguably be their toughest challenge of their entire qualification campaign.
Belgium haven’t beaten Wales since a World Cup qualifier back in 2012 but come into this fixture having won each of their last four outings.
That includes a 2-0 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League when Roberto Martinez’s troops last got together in November.
