Belgium Stats & Form
Belgium is the best team in the world that has never won the World Cup. It is tough to bet on a team that has never won before to finally do it but Belgium really possesses the quality to do so.
Kevin de Bruyne is one of the best players in the world and the highest paid one in the English Premier League. Romelu Lukaku is one of the best strikers who is literally unstoppable when he is on top of his game.
Belgium proved their class once again finishing on top of Group E in the European qualifiers with 20 points, 5 more than Wales. Belgium had 6 wins and 2 draws in the qualifiers finishing as one of seven undefeated teams.
Belgium has only 4 wins in the last 10 games which does not seem very promising but once the World Cup begins their game will be on another level.

Betting Tip
Belgium is a team that is seen as one of the favorites for a while now and maybe the World Cup in Qatar will be the one where they will definitely take over the football world. They finished third in the last World Cup and with that experience, they seem ready for a step further. Anyway, it is a long tournament, and they need to start strong. Going against Canada in the opener seems like a great deal for Kevin de Bruyne and the rest of the crew who will have a chance to boost their confidence with an easy win against the team who finished at the top of the CONCACAF qualifiers. Despite that fact, Canada is still a huge step behind the best teams in the world and they will stand no chance against Belgium.
