LiontipsBelgium vs Iran: betting tip (cf 2.20) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
On the way to the World Cup, Belgium impressed with its attacking play in friendly meetings with Croatia (2:0) and Tunisia (5:0). In the first round of the group stage, the Belgians played Egypt, they were the clear favorite, but they faced problems in the attack, as they could not crack the enemy's saturated defense for a long time. Until the 66th minute, the Egyptians led 1-0. Lukaku saved the game. As soon as the striker appeared, just 23 seconds later he forced the defender to cut the ball into his own net. Characteristically, it was at the end of the game, when the star striker was on the field, that the Belgians created several more dangerous chances and were close to victory. After the match, Rudi Garcia cautiously spoke about the possible appearance of Lukaku in the starting line-up, noting that Romelu was not yet fully ready for such loads.

Current form
Iran is in a difficult position, unlike its rivals in the group, as it cannot stay in the United States all the time, it only flies to matches from Mexico, where the national team is based. In the first round, Amir Galenoi's team played against New Zealand. The opponent took the lead twice in that meeting, but the Iranians fought back. The match ended in a 2-2 draw, which was in many ways a logical outcome. It is worth noting the problems in defense: the opponent struck eight shots on target, it was not possible to restrain the leader of the New Zealanders, the powerful forward Chris Wood, who clung to the riding balls and gave two assists.
Disqualifications and injuries
Azmun, Golizadeh and Hosseini are out of the application.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of Iran's last five matches, there has been an exchange of goals scored.
- No more than one goal was scored in the first half in three of the previous five matches of the Iranian national team.
Approximate line–up: Beiranvand – Rezaian, Khalilzadeh, Nemati, Mohammadi – Ezatolahi Ghorbani - Yousefi, Goddos, Mohebi – Taremi.

Tip and bets
Belgium failed to beat Egypt in the opening round, but in the second half, after Lukaku entered the field, there were excellent chances to snatch victory. The star forward is getting in shape and may well spend more time today. And this will become a decent problem for the defenders of Iran, who could not cope in their penalty area with the same Wood, who constantly won the fight in the air, made discounts on partners.
Constant flights are also not in favor of Iran, since the national team is in the United States only during the matches themselves. The defense missed twice from New Zealand, with the opponent hitting eight shots on goal at once. With such an unreliable defense, it's hard to count on anything in the game against the Belgians.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1.5) for Belgium by a factor of 2.20
Bet on the total
The attack of the Iranian national team without Azmun does not pose a particular threat. There is a container, but the Belgians will obviously close it tightly. Two goals scored against New Zealand should not be overestimated, but there is still a more serious test of strength ahead. We expect Belgium to play zero today, as it did in the friendly matches on the eve of the World Cup against Croatia and Tunisia.
The second bet is that Iran will not score with a coefficient of 2.02
Betting on corners
In the match with Egypt, the Belgians lost on corners with a score of 2-7. Corners are clearly not their forte. Iran has impressive statistics on corners: four wins in the last five matches. We believe that there is some underestimation of the Iranian national team in this indicator in the line of bookmakers.
The betting tip is a head start (+3.5) on the corners for Iran with a coefficient of 1.65
