William Hill News tipster @Footy_Tipster previews Sunday’s 2026 World Cup game between Belgium and Iran.

Our Prediction: Belgium To Score In Both Halves (13/10), Belgium 3-0 Iran (8/1)

With all four teams in Group G picking up just one point from their opening games, Belgium and Iran know that victory here would all but secure their place in the round of 32, as the two sides meet at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some World Cup odds and betting angles for Sunday’s fixture:

Belgium v Iran – Sunday, 8pm

Belgium are now fourteen games unbeaten dating back to March 2025, but they were made to work for their point against Egypt, coming from behind to preserve that impressive run. They’ll be eager to take all three points here and silence any lingering doubts about a potential group‑stage stumble — especially after failing to progress in 2022.
There may be some concern about a slight dip on the biggest stage, with Belgium now winless in their last three World Cup matches, having previously won eleven of thirteen. Even so, Rudi Garcia will fully expect his side to win their next two fixtures and top the group, given they are favourites in both.
The signs are encouraging ahead of this one. Although Belgium and Iran have never met before, Iran have struggled historically against European opposition at World Cups, winning just one of their last ten such fixtures. William Hill make Garcia’s men the 4/9 favourites to claim a vital victory.

Amid off‑field issues, Iran showed real character by coming from behind twice against New Zealand to earn a point, though that result may yet prove costly given it was the fixture they would have targeted for all three points.
Avoiding defeat here would see Iran go unbeaten in their opening two World Cup matches for the first time in their history. This is their sixth appearance at the tournament, but they are still searching for a first‑ever progression beyond the group stage.
Amir Ghalenoei’s side arrive in Los Angeles from their Mexican base unbeaten in their last four matches in all competitions, but this test feels a significant step up. William Hill price Iran at 6/1 to claim their first win of the tournament.
