On the other hand, Belgium is motivated after defeating Poland (6-1) in the previous matchday. Axel Witsel, Kevin De Bruyne, Leandro Trossard (2), Leander Dendoncker, and Lois Openda scored the goals for the victory.
With that result, the 'Red Devils' earned their first three points in the Nations League and currently sit in second place. Now, they hope to continue on the path of victory and win against Wales away, who are not in a good moment.
Manager Roberto Martínez would stick with the same team that overwhelmed Poland. In that sense, Yanick Ferreira Carrasco and Eden Hazard would form the attacking duo.
After Thibaut Courtois' injury, Mignolet is the starting goalkeeper for Belgium. On the other hand, Leandro Trossard would be on the bench, although he will be ready if needed.
Wales vs. Belgium: Possible line-ups
- Wales: Ward, Roberts, Mepham, Rodon, Davies, Norrington-Davies, Levitt, Morrell, Wilson, Johnson and James.
- Belgium: Mignolet, Dendoncker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Castagne, Witsel, Tielemans, Ferreria Carrasaco, De Bruyne, Batshuayi and Hazard.
