Confirmed Lineups
Belgium confirmed lineup (4-2-3-1): Thibaut Courtois (GK), Thomas Meunier, Nathan Ngoy, Brandon Mechele, Maxim De Cuyper, Nicolas Raskin, Youri Tielemans, Alexis Saelemaekers, Kevin De Bruyne, Leandro Trossard, Romelu Lukaku.

Main Match Prediction
We think Belgium will win this Group G clash by two goals or more. This leads us to back the favourites -1.25 on the Asian Handicap at odds of -112, with plenty of juice in the available price.
Belgium may have been held to a draw by Egypt, but there were plenty of positives to take from the performance given the difficult conditions. Temperatures at Seattle Stadium reached 30-32°C (86-90°F), breaking a local weather record that had stood since 1963.
With conditions expected to be much more favourable for the Red Devils this time around, we anticipate Kevin De Bruyne, Leandro Trossard and Romelu Lukaku causing Iran plenty of problems.
