Belgium vs Iran Preview

A pair of sides looking to build upon opening game draws meet here, as Belgium and Iran lock horns in Los Angeles.

Belgium were progressive against Egypt, without hitting top form but they did step things up in the second half and should be up for this one.

For Iran, building on their opening game draw with New Zealand will be their primary objective and they will be eager to test the Belgians.

All of the pressure is on Rudi Garcia’s Belgian side here, who continue to threaten in major tournaments, and they will be desperate to pick up a crucial win.

The longer this one goes on, the more that Iran will fancy their chances, but Belgium start as the team to beat.

Here is a look ahead to Belgium vs Iran:

In their opening game against Egypt, Belgium lacked cohesion and some confidence, but they still found a way to pick up a point.

With better composure in front of goal, the Belgians may have left Seattle with all three points, but they now have more work to do here against Iran.

For Iran, they have a point on the board, having been involved in an entertaining one against New Zealand but they know this is a serious step up in quality.

The Iranians have absolutely nothing to lose here though and they will be looking to stop Belgium playing from the outset and make it a physical encounter.

However, Belgium were vastly improved in the second half against Egypt and if they can produce another performance like that, they will be tough to stop here for Iran in Los Angeles.

One of the standout features of Iran’s draw with New Zealand was their ambition on the ball and their willingness to play the ball forwards.

They will need to exercise more caution here against a Belgian side that can pick them off at will, but they are a positive side, who should cause Belgium some problems.

It is clear that Belgium don’t know their best XI but they have a wealth of options to choose from, with the inspirational Kevin de Bruyne sure to be pulling the strings.

This should be a good game, with goals on the cards and Belgium should just about pull through.

Best Value Bet

A penalty to be awarded in the match @ $3.50

Bet Now

Belgium’s main attacking outlets come in the form of Leandro Trossard and Jeremy Doku, two of the most dangerous wide players in world football.

Both men have enjoyed great seasons domestically in England and they are both very canny operators in the opposition box.

Iran will look to impart their physicality in this one, but they could get caught out in their own box and a penalty award looks decent value in this game.
