Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan experienced an upswing in 2023, coming close to qualifying for the European Championship, but is currently in a slump. Under former coach Stanislav Cherchesov, results fell short of expectations, especially in the UEFA Nations League with six defeats and a goal difference of 0:15. Since the takeover by Ali Alijew, no significant improvements have been seen so far, as highlighted by the clear 1-4 defeat in the friendly match against Belarus. Additionally, Kazakhstan must do without their injured key player Bahtier Sainutdinow in the upcoming match, which affects their offensive strength.

North Macedonia
After the surprising point share against Belgium, North Macedonia has shown that it is a serious contender in the World Cup qualification. Blagoja Milevski's team has played a strong role in the group so far and aims to secure a spot among the top two. The visitors have shown solid performances against Wales and Belgium and will fight for a positive result in the next game. However, they have to miss injured center-back Nikola Serafimov, which could weaken their defense.

Injuries
Kazakhstan must manage without their most important offensive player Bahtier Sainutdinow, who is still recovering from his injury. North Macedonia cannot rely on central defender Nikola Serafimov, which presents a tactical challenge for coach Milevski.

Head-to-Head Matches
The recent encounters between Kazakhstan and North Macedonia have been balanced in nature, with both teams making use of their chances but also maintaining good defensive organization. The matches were mostly intense and close, featuring few goals and many duels.

Match Prognosis
This match will be characterized by tactical defensive play and a lot of combat. Kazakhstan places great importance on stability with the home advantage and the pressure not to lose, while North Macedonia will play cautiously to avoid mistakes. The numerous fouls and the strictness of referee Philipp Glowa, who tends to issue many cards, indicate a fiercely contested duel. Considering the injuries and the current slumps of both teams, we expect few goals, making under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.53 a safe bet.

My Tip: Under 2.5 goals (1.53)

Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands have shown clear sporting progress in recent years. Although teams like Montenegro and the Czech Republic are still a level above them, heavy defeats have become rare. The hosts are currently on a streak of four consecutive away losses, though all have been closely contested. In this match, the Faroe Islands are considered clear favorites and will start with an unchanged, available squad. Following good performances in recent qualification cycles, including points earned against North Macedonia and Latvia, they are aiming for a victory once again.

Gibraltar
Gibraltar currently represents the weakest team in this group. After three games with a goal difference of 1:14 and a heavy 0:7 home defeat against Croatia, it is highly unlikely they will collect points in this World Cup qualification cycle. Especially compared to the Faroe Islands, there is a significant class difference, so their primary goal will be to avoid another heavy defeat. Gibraltar also enters the match with a full squad, but will struggle to turn this into an advantage.

Injuries
No injuries are known for either team; all players are available.

Head-to-Head Encounters
So far, the duels between the Faroe Islands and Gibraltar have been dominated by the clear superiority of the Faroe Islands. Gibraltar has barely managed to earn points against the Faroes over recent years, mainly due to the different levels of playing strength.

Match Prediction
The Faroe Islands are clear favorites in this match and will aim to secure a dominant home victory. Given their attacking strength and Gibraltar’s defensive vulnerabilities, we can expect multiple goals in this encounter.Although Gibraltar is not known for their attacking prowess, they could still create a chance or two from set-pieces or defensive lapses. However, the most likely outcome is a solid home win with at least three goals scored, mostly by the hosts.

My tip: Over 2.5 Goals (1.83)

Belgium
Belgium recently disappointed, especially the match against North Macedonia (1-1) showed clear weaknesses. The team coached by Rudy Garcia could only convert a few scoring opportunities despite dominating the field. Key players like Kevin De Bruyne are not delivering consistently, and the regular goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is missing, which represents another weakening.

Wales
Wales is in excellent form, having not lost a competitive match in regular time for a long period and showing a cohesive, fighting team. The Welsh rely on quick counterattacks and can make important contributions in midfield with players like Harry Wilson, Daniel James, and Josh Sheehan. The team led by Craig Bellamy is without significant absences and sufficiently rested.

Injuries
Belgium is missing Mangala, Courtois, and Castagne due to injuries. Wales comes almost in full strength without major absences.

Head-to-Head
The recent encounters between Belgium and Wales were competitive, but overall Belgium fares better as the favorite. Both teams have scored at least one goal in each of their last five matches, indicating an intense confrontation.

Match Prediction
Despite Belgium’s problems, the home team remains the favorite thanks to home advantage and individual class. However, Wales is very strong in form and resilient, so a close game is expected. The strain and unrest in the Belgian team could additionally slow the hosts, but the individual quality should still suffice to win the game. Therefore, the best bet is a Belgium win with odds of 1.40.

My tip: Belgium win (1.40)

Grindavík
Grindavík is currently in eighth place and has managed to earn only a single home point from two matches so far this season. The team still does not appear very confident at home and shows a rather mixed performance, which is reflected in the standings. Nevertheless, Grindavík's games have been very high-scoring up to now.

Kopavogur
Kopavogur is showing strong form this season and has won three of their last four matches. The team currently holds a spot among the top three teams in the First Division and is well prepared to come out victorious against Grindavík as well. Additionally, many goals are frequently scored in Kopavogur's matches.

Injuries
No information about injuries is available.

Head-to-Head
Details about direct encounters between Grindavík and Kopavogur are not specifically known; however, the matches so far this season suggest a high-quality offensive game from both teams, indicating many goals.

Game Prediction
Grindavík’s matches are known for a high goal output, averaging six goals per game. In two of Kopavogur’s last three encounters, at least four goals were scored. Due to the open style of play and strong offenses of both teams, it is expected that at least three goals will be scored in this match as well. Therefore, we recommend the bet "Over 2.5 goals" with odds of 1.45.

My Tip: Over 2.5 goals (1.45)
