Belgium vs Iran — match preview

Belgium meet Iran in Group G of the 2026 World Cup. A transitioning golden generation still carried by De Bruyne’s class.

Iran arrive with their own plan. Experienced, organised Iran with a genuine goal threat in Taremi. The match-up between Kevin De Bruyne and Mehdi Taremi is the headline individual battle.

On paper Belgium have the stronger squad, but World Cup group games are rarely straightforward — the underdog only needs one moment, and the favourite carries the pressure of expectation.
