Estonia vs Belgium match preview

After a minor setback on Saturday night, will Belgium get back to winning ways in Tallinn?

At the weekend, the Red Devils were held to a 1-1 draw by a stubborn Austrian outfit at Stade Roi Baudouin.

Orel Mangala deflected home an unfortunate own goal in the first half, before Romelu Lukaku fired home his customary international goal on the hour mark.

Before this, Domenico Tedesco boasted a 100% record since taking over earlier this year, with his team demolishing Sweden on matchday one before a friendly victory in Germany.

In this group, Belgium’s next three fixtures are all against minnows Estonia or Azerbaijan, before facing Austria in Vienna and then Sweden in Brussels in October.

So, with tougher fixtures to come, the Red Devils will need to win this one, something they’ll be confident of achieving.

Estonia meantime lost their group opener in Linz back in March, taking the lead through Rauno Sappinen, only for Austria to snatch the win in the 88th minute.

Then, on Saturday, Sappinen broke the deadlock on the road again, this time doing so in a 1-1 draw with Azerbaijan at Dalğa Arena in Bakı.

The Blueshirts did win all four UEFA Nations League D fixtures in 2022 but, in terms of qualifiers, it’s just one win in 19 outings for Thomas Häberli’s team.

During the most-recent World Cup qualification cycle, Belgium beat Estonia 5-2 and 3-1, with the away side likely to score plenty of goals again as they return to A. Le Coq Arena.

Estonia team news

Karl Hein, who made his senior debut for Arsenal in November, will win his 22nd international cap in goal.

Talisman Rauno Sappinen will partner Henri Anier in attack, the latter currently plays his club football for Muangthong United in Thailand.

Konstantin Vassiljev will win his 152nd cap in midfield; only one man, fellow Estonian Martin Reim, has won more international caps without ever featuring at a major tournament.

Belgium team news

Kevin De Bruyne, Thomas Meunier, Amadou Onana, Roméo Lavia and Leandro Trossard are all not in this squad.

Striker Romelu Lukaku is here though, having scored his 73rd international goal at the weekend, four of which have come against Estonia, only netting more frequently against Russia and Iceland.

Aster Vranckx, Ameen Al-Dakhil and Mike Trésor Ndayishimiye all came off the bench against Austria for their international debuts, signalling the start of a new era.
