Four teams, four points, zero separation. Group G went through an entire opening matchday without producing a winner, leaving Belgium, Iran, New Zealand and Egypt deadlocked heading into the group’s second round of games.

Belgium finished in a shocking 1-1 draw with Egypt, only pulling level after Romelu Lukaku came off the bench to force the issue. Iran, by contrast, were involved in a lively 2-2 affair with New Zealand, with right back Ramin Rezaeian starring in attack.

The Red Devils carry far more attacking quality on paper – Kevin De Bruyne, Lukaku, Jeremy Doku and Charles De Ketelaere form a frontline that Iran should struggle to contain – but a Belgium side that has failed to win a World Cup match since the 2022 group stage will need to prove it in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon.
