Iran (0-1-0) vs. Belgium (0-1-0) — Group G Match Preview
Iran and Belgium meet at Los Angeles Stadium in Inglewood with both sides level on a point after drawing their Group G openers, leaving this the match that could shape the race to the Knockouts.
Belgium booked their return to the tournament as a UEFA group winner, hammering Liechtenstein 7-0, while Iran qualified through the AFC third round and arrive for a fourth straight appearance still chasing a first-ever escape from the group in seven tries. Romelu Lukaku remains the focal point of the Belgian attack as the country’s all-time top scorer, while Kevin De Bruyne pulls the strings from midfield after finding the net in a recent friendly.
For Iran, Mehdi Taremi leads the line in his third World Cup with roughly 56 international goals to his name and 9 shots across 2 starts for Olympiacos in the Greek Super League this season. Jeremy Doku gives Belgium an explosive wide option after a productive Premier League campaign of 5 goals and 5 assists, where Iran will lean on captain Alireza Jahanbakhsh and the experience of goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand.

Players to Watch: Iran vs. Belgium
Iran
Mehdi Taremi — Striker. Taremi anchors the Iranian attack in his third World Cup, carrying roughly 56 international goals into the tournament. His club form this season shows 9 shots across 2 starts for Olympiacos in the Greek Super League, a sign he remains the side’s most reliable route to goal.
Alireza Jahanbakhsh — Winger. The captain provides Iran’s creativity from wide areas, registering 10 shots across 4 starts for Dender in the Belgian Pro League this season. His role is as much about leadership as it is end product, and he sets the tempo when Iran push forward.
Alireza Beiranvand — Goalkeeper. Iran’s veteran keeper will be central to any result against a Belgian front line that scores freely. Beiranvand posted 35 saves and 5 clean sheets across 9 starts in the AFC Champions League Elite this season, the kind of reliability a defensive game plan depends on.
Belgium
Romelu Lukaku — Striker. Belgium’s all-time leading scorer remains the team’s reference point in attack. He found the net and added an assist in recent friendly action for Napoli, and his presence alone reshapes how Iran will set up defensively.
Kevin De Bruyne — Midfielder. The creative talisman dictates Belgium’s rhythm from deeper positions and scored in a recent friendly while taking 9 shots across 4 appearances. His vision turns half-chances into clear ones, making him the player Iran most needs to contain.
Jeremy Doku — Winger. Doku gives Belgium a direct, explosive threat off either flank. He posted 5 goals and 5 assists across 19 starts in the Premier League this season for Manchester City, with 39 shots underlining how often he gets into dangerous positions.
