Key Stats
Belgium vs Russia Predictions
Despite the match being played in Russia, we think the Belgians are far superior. They are a very strong team, with some of the best players in the world in their squad. In addition, in terms of the level of collective play the difference is also very big, the Russians are not bad but they do not reach the level of Belgium.
The Russians have been a little weak defensively, which is why they have conceded at least one goal in six of their last seven matches, and against a team as powerful in attack as Belgium, we think the match could end with a lot of goals.
