My prediction for the match New Zealand vs. Belgium in Group G of the 2026 World Cup: Score prediction: New Zealand 0–2 Belgium Win probability: 🇳🇿 New Zealand: 15% 🤝 Draw: 20% 🇧🇪 Belgium: 65% Reasoning: Belgium possesses superior individual quality, particularly in midfield and attack. Belgium needs a win to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stage alive, so their motivation will be very high. New Zealand is a disciplined team capable of causing trouble through counter-attacks or set-pieces, but they struggle against opponents with superior technical quality. Belgium also receives a boost from the return of several key players, even if some are not yet at 100% fitness. Reasonable picks: ✅ Belgium to win ✅ Total goals over 2.5 (slightly riskier) ✅ Romelu Lukaku is likely to score if he starts or comes off the bench.
