Belgium go up against Austria this coming Saturday in a game played out at Koning Boudewijnstadion. We are entering the third round of the group stage in the European Championship with both very eager to add points to their tally. The last time these two teams squared up, Belgium ran out 0-2 winners which they surely won't mind doing again at Koning Boudewijnstadion.

After the second round of matches in the group stage, Belgium are placed as number two on three points points, while Austria have six points as number one. Belgium head to their upcoming fixture against Austria as number four in the FIFA world ranking. The latter rank as number 32 according to Fifa.

Having so far lost and won a match in the European Championship tournament this season, Belgium still have high hopes of getting through to the next stage. A second defeat could prove costly, though.

Belgium is heavily favoured to take first place in their group, and it would be a major surprise if they don't qualify as group winners with relative ease. It appears that Austria are in for a two-horse race to come out on top of their group. Should they fail, Austria ought to have no problem securing qualification, though.

Belgium vs Austria Prediction

Belgium Form

Belgium conquered seven points from their last three matches and started off drawing 0-0 with Croatia. Next up was a 0-3 win against Sweden, before Germany were defeated in 2-3 win. Belgium show off three wins from their previous six internationals, while drawing one. They also lost two and scored eight while conceding six times.

Austria Form

Austria look fabulous with three wins on the trot, starting off against Italy, who were defeated by 2-0. Then, Azerbaijan got outclassed in a 4-1 win, before beating Estonia by 2-1. Austria recorded a very decent outcome of four wins from six internationals, in which they banged in ten goals, whilst conceding seven. They also drew zero and lost two.

In current form, it is very difficult to argue against Belgium claiming yet another win. Austria don't look strong enough right now to push their hosts to dropping points.

Belgium have not lost in three consecutive games.

Austria will be looking to extend their remarkable streak of four wins on the bounce when they take to the field for their next game.
