Belgium

Outlook

On the numbers, Belgium (FIFA #9, 1735 ELO) are one of the stronger sides and a credible contender to go deep. Across 10,000 simulations of Group G, the model has Belgium advancing 82% of the time, so they are strong favourites to advance from their group. These are statistical estimates and update as results come in, not guarantees.

Belgium have won 6 of their last 10 matches (60% win rate), scoring 27 and conceding 10 (2.7 for and 1.0against per game). This recent form feeds directly into the model's prediction for every match they play.
