World Cup Predictions Today: Iran vs. Belgium

Belgium Moneyline (-250)

Both teams enter this Group G showdown needing a win after opening draws. Belgium needed a second-half spark from Romelu Lukaku to salvage a 1-1 result against Egypt, while Iran showed resilience by coming from behind twice in a 2-2 draw with New Zealand.

Belgium's underlying performance was still encouraging. The Red Devils controlled chunks of the match against Egypt and generated several quality chances before Lukaku's introduction changed the game.

Iran deserves credit for its comeback against New Zealand, but Belgium possesses the superior squad depth and attacking talent. With Kevin De Bruyne pulling the strings and Lukaku likely playing a larger role after his impactful return, Belgium should create enough opportunities to secure three points.

While the -250 odds are steep, this can me a parlay inclusion if you'd rather not do it as a single wager.

Romelu Lukaku Anytime Goalscorer (+115)

Romelu Lukaku made an immediate impact in the opener, helping force Belgium's equalizer just seconds after entering the match. After missing time through injury, he looked sharp and immediately improved Belgium's attack. If he starts this match, I like these +115 goal odds.

Iran conceded twice to New Zealand and allowed several dangerous opportunities throughout the match. Belgium has a lot more firepower than New Zealand has.

Just make sure Lukaku is in the starting lineup -- which will be released 60 minutes before kickoff -- before placing this prop bet.
