Belgium vs Iran Prediction 

All four of the teams in Group G are tied with one point after the first round of games, so this is a huge game for each side. Belgium played well enough to get the victory against Egypt, but they couldn’t find the go ahead goal in the last 10 minutes. Iran was lucky to get a draw against a below average New Zealand team, but I do think they will play better in this one. I like how both teams attack and I think Belgium will capitalize on more of their chances than they did against Egypt. Take the over here.
