📖 The Preview

Belgium are massive favourites here and it's hard to argue with that. New Zealand will give it a go and should get on the scoresheet, which lines up with both teams finding the net, but the quality gap at World Cup level is just too wide. Belgium are missing Doku and Debast through illness and injury respectively, plus Ngoy through suspension, yet they still have more than enough to get the job done. Expect a competitive game that goes over 2.5 goals, but Belgium edge it 2-1.
