Iran 6 PLAYERS TO WATCH 🇧🇪 Belgium: Mechele has been outstanding defensively and already has two goal contributions in the tournament. Youri Tielemans continues to dictate play from midfield, while Charles De Ketelaere provides creativity and attacking threat in the final third. 🇮🇷 Iran: Ramin Rezaeian has been one of Iran's standout performers so far, while Mohammad Mohebi remains a key attacking outlet with his pace, movement, and direct running. Prediction
Belgium to Win
This should be one of the most competitive matches of Round 2. Iran have the structure, discipline, and confidence to trouble Belgium, but the Red Devils possess greater squad depth, more attacking firepower, and significantly more experience at the highest level.
Iran are unlikely to make things easy, but Belgium's quality in possession and ability to create chances from multiple areas of the pitch should eventually prove decisive in what promises to be an entertaining contest.
