Read the full analysisBelgium has a contextual advantage: it is hosting in Liège and won 2-0 in Italy, while Türkiye has lost its first two matches, including 1-4 against Italy. This assessment remains fragile without an official lineup, a confirmed goalkeeper, or an updated medical report for Türkiye; the absence of Courtois and Doku could significantly alter the balance.
Belgium: 2-0 victory in Italy on 25 September, followed by a 0-1 home defeat against France on 28 September. Türkiye: 0-1 defeats against France on 25 September and 1-4 against Italy on 28 September.
Three days separate the last match from 2 October for each team. No xG, pressing indicator, or verifiable measure of chance quality is available; the cache’s possession, shots, and corners statistics are discarded due to the lack of a traceable provider.
The UEFA page consulted on 30 September indicates an overall historical record of 3 wins for Belgium, 3 draws, and 3 wins for Türkiye, with 18-17 overall. It does not provide sufficient detail on recent encounters with dates and scores; no prédictive conclusion should therefore be drawn from this old record.
No first-leg score exists for this pairing before this third matchday of Group A1.
Courtois was not selected for this window, and Doku is reported absent through injury in the article published on 18 September. Türkiye’s updated absences, any injuries that emerged after 28 September, and each team’s starting goalkeeper remain unverified.
The absence of a new lineup does not allow for the conclusion that there are no other injured players.
Belgium may seek to use the width and initial pressing of a 4-3-3, with De Bruyne and Tielemans as link players; this remains an announced intention, not a confirmed implementation. Contrary scenario: Türkiye could disrupt build-up play, attack the spaces behind the full-backs and take advantage of set pieces, but these mechanisms are not documented as established characteristics.
The match is the third matchday of Group A1, in Liège, at the Maurice Dufrasne Stadium, on Friday 2 October 2026 at 20 h 45 Central European time; the time is confirmed in the UEFA schedule.
