Belgium and Iran meet in Group G at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on June 21, with both sides sitting on one point after opening draws. Belgium drew 1-1 with Egypt while Iran drew 2-2 with New Zealand, leaving the group wide open heading into Matchday 2. The central betting question is whether Belgium’s deeper squad quality can translate into a win that would push them firmly toward the knockout rounds.
Belgium are priced at -235 with BetOnline and Lucky Rebel, reflecting a significant class gap on paper between a side featuring Kevin De Bruyne (34, 119 caps) and Romelu Lukaku (33, 126 caps, 90 international goals) and an Iran squad drawn almost entirely from domestic Iranian clubs. Iran are available at +800 at best, while the draw is priced at +400.
