Not to say Belgium failed in the 2022/23 Nations League, but they did not play their best, losing twice to their arch-rivals, the Dutch, including a 1:4 defeat in Brussels. Indeed, there were also positive situations in the Nations League, such as the 6:1 victory over the Poles. Just before the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the Red Devils played a friendly against Egypt, losing to the Africans 1:2. That's not to say the Belgians are in good form just yet, but it was the same for the English team that thrashed Iran 6:2 in the first round.
Belgium has a good generation to help them win. Belgium is a regular World Cup participant. It makes them more experienced to win. They have good top players like Kevin De Bruyne, Lukaku and Hazard. Eden Hazard hasn’t been playing much at Real Madrid. But in his national team, he is a key and star player. It will give Belgium a big advantage. They have enough class to beat Canada.
Canada
For the Canadians, the Qatar World Cup will only be their second tournament since Mexico in 1986. The Reds have a problem with experience at this level, which will invariably lead to a point loss. Canada won the CONCACAF World Cup qualifier, sensational as the Reds beat Mexico and the USA, not to mention Costa Rica. Regarding the current situation. In November 2022, the Canadians played two friendlies against Bahrain and Japan. The first game ended in a 2:2 draw, while the Canadians won the second game 2:1. We'd like to draw your attention to the Canadian team's good play and efficiency, although the rivals for the Reds were by no means top-flight.
Canada will play their first World Cup in 36 years but their chances are slim. They have few star players in the squad, only Alphonso Davies is known. They will struggle to defend against Belgium. But in one game, anything can happen.
Expert Betting Tips
The Belgians are a high-scoring team, and the Red Devils can reach TO (1.5) and even TO (2.5) for the game, so we should expect a productive start from the Europeans, and the North Americans can upset Courtois at least once. It should also be noted that the Belgians regularly not only score but also concede goals. Therefore, an exchange of goals does not look surprising in this encounter. However, we doubt that the inexperienced Canadian team will be able to take points away from the Belgian side.
Expect Belgium to win with wide margin, with more than three goals. My prediction will be 4 or 5 goals scored. With Lukaku, De Bryune and Hazard in their squad, Belgiun can win 5:0.
