Belgium and Iran meet at SoFi Stadium in a Group G matchday-two clash with all four sides level on a single point. Belgium need to improve after an underwhelming opener; Iran arrive full of attacking belief.

Belgium under pressure to deliver

Belgium were held to a 1-1 draw by Egypt, trailing for much of the game before an own goal salvaged a point. The performance fell short of expectations, but the squad's individual quality and attacking depth remain among the strongest in the group. They arrive with no major absentees reported, knowing a win would put them in control of Group G.

Iran dangerous but open

Iran twice came from behind to draw 2-2 with New Zealand, showing real attacking spirit through their pace and directness. They can clearly score, but also conceded twice and looked vulnerable defensively, which a side of Belgium's quality may exploit. They arrive with no major absentees reported and belief from their resilient opener.

Prediction: Belgium to avoid defeat

With Belgium the higher-ranked side and Iran prone to conceding, the Belgium versus Iran prediction leans toward Belgium not losing: a Belgium-or-draw double chance reads as the value angle. Around it, a Belgium win reflects their quality edge, the match passing over 2.5 fits two open sides, Belgium over 1.5 suits their attacking depth, and Iran — dangerous going forward — are tipped to score.
