#世界杯2026 Preview of Belgium vs Iran

1. Belgium: Ranked 9th in the world, with a team value of 548 million euros, boasting De Bruyne, Lukaku, and the midfield backbone of the five major leagues; but with many attacking threats on the wings, and key defender De Baste confirmed to be injured, despite 65% possession in the first match, their attacking efficiency was low, and their ability to break down dense defenses declined. Historically, they have maintained a perfect record against Iran in official matches.

2. Iran: Ranked 19th in the world, with a value of only 32 million euros, playing a 5-4-1 formation with all players sitting deep to defend, relying on Taremi's individual counterattacks and set pieces for scoring; the team covers a lot of ground, leading to high physical exhaustion, with several midfield starters in doubt to play, and weak in creating opportunities in positional play, but with very strong defensive resilience.
