In my opinion, Marc Wilmots (Belgium's head coach) have a powerfull scuad to wade through this qualifying phase. This is the best Belgium team ever - even better then the generation of Enzo Scifo that finished fourth at the 1986 World Cup.
Here's Belgium squad:

Majority players are come from Big Club from all High European's competition (England Premier League, Spanish La Liga, Bundesliga, Eredivisie, Belgian Pro League, Russia Nation League). This is advantage that Marc Wilmots to knew all condition & competition in European country. Many players were in golden ages also combine with young talented players. Only three players were above thirty years old.
My prediction, Belgium will lead this group and will be qualified to next round.
