Belgium will look to book their spot in the World Cup knockout stages when they face New Zealand at BC Place. As Roberto Martinez's men will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways, we predict a 3-1 away win. New Zealand showed plenty of spirit against Egypt, but defensive issues once again proved costly (1-3). The All Whites have now won just one of their last ten matches and remain without a clean sheet during that period. Chris Wood continues to be their main attacking threat, but the absence of injured midfielder Matthew Garbett is another blow for a team that has struggled for consistency throughout the tournament.
Belgium, meanwhile, were left frustrated after a goalless draw with Iran despite dominating proceedings and registering 23 goal attempts. Rudi Garcia's side have generally been impressive in recent months, averaging 2.6 goals per game across their last ten matches. Romelu Lukaku is expected to lead the line once again, although Belgium will be without suspended defender Nathan Ngoy. Jeremy Doku is also a doubt as he could return home for the birth of his child.
As Belgium possess far greater quality and have everything to play for, we predict Away Win, alongside Belgium Over 1.5 and Romelu Lukaku to Score.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Saturday 27 June 2026 at 04:00.
