The requirements from Belgium in this World Cup are great and the draw has made them even bigger after falling into a group that looks extremely easy. It is advisable to expect a team of players such as Hazard, Fellaini, Lukaku, Witsel, Mirallas, Januzaj, De Bruyne to easily pass the next stage and reach far enough in the competition.
Indeed, the material in Belgium is excellent. After many years the team has a tremendous quality in the center and the attack, has alternatives to various misfortunes or to face a bad day of a player, and the defense seems to be quite dynamic and with the leader of the excellent goalkeeper Courtois, to imagine invincible.
But the matches are not won with the rosters and Algeria is a team that has nothing to do with Algeria we saw in the previous World Cup and comfortably comes into history as one of the worst 5 teams ever to play. Halilhodzic's recruitment brought great changes to the team, which he was unleashed from the defensive defense game that he knew and played more freely and more aggressively, and so he easily got the qualifying for the second consecutive World Cup.
Feghouli's form dominates the center of the team, and experienced players from teams of major European champions, Yebda, Taider, Ghilas, Slimani, Soudani, are in the midfield and offensive. But the new air of Halilhodzic does not mean that the nausea has also come to Algeria. The Arabs know that their defense is not at its best and will look to keep it against such a dangerous team and to avoid accepting the goal early.
Algeria will not be given to the Belgians. I'm waiting to defend them well and if they get a counterattack to chase the goal. But I do not know if they are able to score. I see the Belgians at some point succeeding in breaking Algerian defense and where the Arabs will be forced to attack, put a second goal and lock the victory.
The presence of Algeria in friends does not tell me anything. They can have great results and have scored many goals, but now they are tightening the milk and it will not be easy. I do not see the game escaping 2-3 goals and I think this is a good bet.
