Belgium vs Iran Prediction & Tips – Group G, 2026 World Cup

Belgium take on Iran in the Group Stage of the 2026 World Cup, kicking off Monday 22nd June at 5:00 AM AEST. Here’s our prediction for the game, plus the bets we like and the best odds markets at Neds.

Belgium were left frustrated in their opener, held to a draw by Egypt despite controlling large stretches of the match.

Kevin De Bruyne was heavily involved, while Romelu Lukaku and Jeremy Doku looked dangerous without quite delivering the finishing touch.

This sets up as a classic clash of styles. Belgium with the ball and all the attacking weapons, Iran sitting deep and looking to counter through Mehdi Taremi.

If Belgium tidy things up in front of goal, they should be able to break through.

Tip: Belgium to Win & Under 3.5 Goals

Uruguay will feel like they left points on the table against Saudi Arabia, dominating possession but lacking the finishing edge to get the job done.

Darwin Nunez and Federico Valverde were heavily involved, and the chances were there, just not taken.

Cape Verde, meanwhile, were one of the big surprise packets early, holding Spain to a draw with a disciplined and compact defensive effort. They did not offer much going forward, but they did not need to.

This shapes as a similar script. Uruguay controlling the ball, Cape Verde sitting deep and trying to frustrate.

The difference should come down to quality, and Uruguay have more than enough of it.

Tip: Uruguay -1.5 Goals @ $2.40
