Match background • Belgium have won both of their previous matches against Andorra, but by relatively narrow margins: 1-0 away and 3- 0 at home in UEFA EURO 2004 qualifying. • Andorra kicked off Group B with a 2-1 loss to Wales but for a while looked set to end their wait for a first point in EURO qualifying in 41 attempts. They led for 16 minutes until Gareth Bale cancelled out Ildefons Lima's sixth-minute penalty, then Bale hit the winner nine minutes from time. • The Pyreneans had not scored in their previous 18 competitive matches, and had not taken the lead in a competitive fixture since 13 October 2004, when they beat the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 1-0 in a FIFA World Cup qualifier. • This is Belgium's first competitive game since they reached the 2014 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals; their opening Group B fixture against Israel was rescheduled for security reasons. • Belgium are unbeaten in nine competitive home matches (W5 D4) since losing 1-0 to Germany in their opening UEFA EURO 2012 qualifier. • Andorra midfielder Marcio Vieira celebrates his 30th birthday on the day of the Belgium match. • The nations' only meeting in a UEFA age-group tournament ended in a 4-0 loss for Andorra's Under-19s in 2010. In the only UEFA meetings between the nations' clubs, K. Lierse SK beat FC Encamp 7-1 over two legs in the 2004 UEFA Intertoto Cup first round. 3 Belgium - Andorra Friday 10 October 2014 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit King Baudouin Stadium, Brussels Squad list Belgium Current season Overall Qual.

Sint-Truidense VV, Belgium • Started out at Sint-Truiden in 1985 and joined Mechelen in 1988, appearing as a substitute in the first leg of that year's UEFA Super Cup as the Belgian side defeated PSV Eindhoven. A forward before later moving into midfield, Wilmots helped Mechelen clinch the Belgian title in 1988/89 ahead of a switch to Standard, where he lifted the Belgian Cup in 1993. • Signed for Schalke after five years with Standard, scoring the winner in the first leg of the 1997 UEFA Cup final against FC Internazionale Milano and then converting the decisive spot kick in the second-leg shoot-out. Wilmots ended his career with Schalke – picking up the German Cup in 2002 – after a short stint at Bordeaux. • Notched 28 goals in 70 outings for Belgium, including two at the 1998 FIFA World Cup and three in South Korea/Japan in 2002; he also featured at the 1994 World Cup and UEFA EURO 2000. • Took over as Schalke coach after retiring in 2003 but left the post soon afterwards to pursue a career in politics. Serving as a senator in his native Belgium, he then briefly held the reins at Sint-Truiden from 2004 to 2005. • Returned to the dugout in 2009 as assistant to Belgium boss Dick Advocaat, and later Georges Leekens, before his own nomination as head coach in May 2012. Steered his country to the 2014 World Cup in his first qualifying campaign, Belgium going on to reach the quarter-finals in Brazil.
