The composition of Israel
The Israeli composition is also very different from that which we experienced in September. Dasa arrives in defense, while Dor Peretz takes his place in the middle of the game. Jaber and Davis are also aligned in the offensive zone.

The pre-match
The first leg saw the Belgians win 3-1 over Israel. A defeat by more than two goals would condemn Belgium to relegation. A final game which will see Timothy Castagne be captain and for which Domenico Tedesco will have to transform his typical team after the formalization of five packages in its core: Amadou Onana, Romelu Lukaku, Maxim De Cuyper, Arthur Theate and Roméo Lavia.
At the same time, Norman Bassette was called up for the first time by the Devils to compensate for the absences in the offensive sector. “I chose him to avoid drawing more on the Espoirs selection”confided the coach at a press conference on Saturday. After the defeat against Italy on Thursday at the King Baudouin stadium (0-1) and the sharing of Israel in France (0-0), Belgium finds itself with its back against the wall with four points in this group A while their opponents of the day have one unit.
Tedesco admitted that he remained positive before this meeting: “I know what I’m doing and I don’t doubt anyone. There is a lot of potential in this selection”. “It’s difficult, but it’s a challenge that I want to take on. This is how I grew up, this is how I was educated. I must not run away from complicated situations, and I I don’t want to.” The third in the group will indeed play play-offs next spring to remain in League A against a second in the group from League B. The team which finishes in fourth place in the group is automatically relegated to League B.
