New Zealand vs Belgium Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Belgium
- Odds: -527 (Tonybet)
New Zealand have been the weakest team in Group G by a considerable margin, and they couldn’t have asked for a tougher way to finish the group stage.
After wasting two leads in a 2-2 draw against Iran and then falling 3-1 to Egypt, the Kiwis, the lowest-ranked nation in the tournament (#85), now face a Belgium side eager to bounce back from a disappointing start.
The Red Devils have made headlines both on and off the field, but their two performances have been subpar.

Despite their elite talent in midfield and attack, they have scored just one goal and couldn’t get past Iran. Belgium recorded 70% possession and 23 shots (seven on target) but couldn’t break down Iran’s defensive resistance.
This time, though, they face a New Zealand team that have won just once in their last 10 matches overall (W1, D2, L7) and conceded 1.9 goals per game in that span. Belgium simply possess too much quality and have too favourable a matchup for their scoring woes to continue. With a win securing a spot in the Round of 32, the Red Devils should come out firing and earn a comfortable win.
New Zealand vs Belgium Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Jeremy Doku to score anytime
- Odds: +175 (Tonybet)
Doku missed the scoreless draw against Iran after travelling to London for the birth of his child, but the Manchester City winger will be available for this group-stage finale.
His presence should provide a significant boost to Belgium, as his explosiveness and skill on the wing can cause major problems for the opposing defence.
Doku isn’t known as a prolific scorer, with just seven goals in 44 appearances for the national team. Still, he’s on a completely different level compared to the New Zealand defenders. If Belgium are to win here, they’ll need their star forward to be at his best.
New Zealand vs Belgium Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Over 2.5 total goals + Both teams not to score + Belgium to have over 5.5 corners
- Odds: +350 (Tonybet)
We expect Belgium to control this game with absolute ease and finally capitalise on the chances they failed to convert against both Egypt and Iran. Rudi Garcia’s men have racked up 38 shots (10 on target) and only have an own goal to show for it. That should change here, especially with the return of Doku to the starting lineup.
Belgium’s dominance should also translate into a clean sheet, which makes perfect sense considering New Zealand’s lack of firepower.
Although the Kiwis have scored three goals in two matches, much of their attacking threat revolves around Chris Wood. If the Red Devils can neutralise him, their opponents may find it difficult to create meaningful chances.

Having Thibaut Courtois between the posts only strengthens Belgium’s case.
We’re also backing the Red Devils to record at least six corners. They have earned six across their first two games, but with their back against the wall and a pressing need for a win, Belgium should play with more urgency. New Zealand are likely to sit back and defend, allowing the European side to control possession and create scoring chances at will.
New Zealand vs Belgium Team News
New Zealand Team News
New Zealand are at full strength heading into this match and aren’t expected to make too many changes. The main selection question is whether Ryan Thomas enters the starting lineup in place of Callum McCowatt.
Belgium Team News
Doku missed the previous game but should return in time to feature here, allowing Belgium to field their strongest attacking trio alongside Romelu Lukaku and Leandro Trossard. However, the Red Devils will be without their top two options at centre-back. Nathan Ngoy is suspended, while Zeno Debast is sidelined through injury.
