Belgium will kick off their World Cup campaign this week as they lock horns with Canada in the second duel of the first round in Group F.

Belgium will come into this game as the 2nd highest ranked team in the world according to Fifa world rankings as opposed to their opponents who are at 44th position. In their last 5 games, Belgium have come out with 2 wins and one draw. Going into this game, they will be looking to build on that momentum and start their campaign with a thriller. Finishing third at World Cup 2018 was the best Belgium's ever done in the history of the competition, topping their previous result by one spot since they also finished fourth in 1986. After that, the team reached quarter-finals in Euro 2020 and they were second in their group in Nations League, so they can be optimistic ahead of this game. The team is coached by Roberto Martinez, who is at the team's helm since 2016, which is a respectable continuity and another advantage for Belgium. On the attacking front, Belgium are abundantly gifted with technically gifted players and have a multitude of talents in their ranks that will most certainly cause some serious damage to their opponents. Players like Kevin De Bruyne, Romelo Lukaku, Hazard, Trossard and Mertens all carry goal threats for the favourites and will be looking to make their mark in this game. Their minds will also be rested as they have an incredible shot stopper in between the goal in the person of Thibaut Courtois.

Canada on the other hand will go into this game ranked at 44th position in the Fifa world rankings. This position is reflective of how below par they are as a footballing team. Canada have not had a lot of international exposure and have not played on the big stage for a long time. The last and only time Canada was at the highest stage of international football was back in 1986, in Mexico when the team lost all three of their games. This appearance in the World Cup is only the second appearance they have made in their history and they are most likely to struggle as their chances of getting out of the group are very slim. Their last 5 performances are riddled with inconistencies. They come out with 2 huge losses and one draw in that same time period, managing only two wins. What a horrible run of performances. The records also show that their defenses have been breached in 4 of their last 5 games. This defensive frailty will most certainly be exploited by the high flying Belgium side.

Belgium certainly have the squad depth and technically gifted players to take this game by the scruff of the neck and to add, they also have the experience in this tournament. In their ranks, they have a myriad of players who are currently playing in one of europe top five leagues and their quality and experience will come into play in this match. We are backing Belgium to win this game emphatically to take all three points

比利时将在本周开始他们的世界杯之旅，他们将在F组第一轮的第二场比赛中与加拿大交锋。

根据国际足联的世界排名，比利时将作为世界排名第二的球队参加这场比赛，而他们的对手排名第44位。在过去的5场比赛中，比利时取得了2胜1平的成绩。进入这场比赛，他们将寻求建立在这种势头，并开始他们的竞选与惊悚。2018年世界杯获得第三名是比利时队在世界杯历史上取得的最好成绩，比1986年世界杯获得第四名的比利时队高出一名。在那之后，球队进入了2020年欧洲杯的1 / 4决赛，他们在国家联赛中排名小组第二，所以他们可以对这场比赛保持乐观。这支球队的教练是罗伯托·马丁内斯(Roberto Martinez)，他从2016年开始执教球队，这是一种值得尊敬的连续性，也是比利时的另一个优势。在进攻前线，比利时拥有丰富的技术天才球员，他们的队伍中有很多天才球员，他们肯定会给对手造成严重的伤害。像凯文·德布鲁因、卢卡库、阿扎尔、特罗萨德和默滕斯这样的球员都有进球的威胁，他们都希望在这场比赛中有所作为。他们的头脑也将得到休息，因为他们有一个不可思议的射门终结者，库尔图瓦。

另一方面，加拿大在国际足联世界排名中排名第44位。这个位置反映了他们作为一支球队的水平有多低。加拿大在国际上的曝光率并不高，很久没有在大舞台上比赛了。加拿大上一次也是唯一一次登上国际足坛的最高舞台要追溯到1986年的墨西哥世界杯，当时加拿大队输掉了三场比赛。这次参加世界杯只是他们历史上第二次参加世界杯，他们很可能会陷入困境，因为他们小组出线的机会非常渺茫。他们最近5次的表现总是前后不一致。在同一时期，他们取得了2场惨败和1场平局，只取得了2场胜利。真是糟糕的演出。记录还显示，他们的防守在最近5场比赛中有4场被突破。这种防守上的弱点肯定会被高高在上的比利时队利用。

比利时当然有足够的阵容深度和有技术天赋的球员，可以轻松拿下这场比赛，此外，他们也有在这届比赛中的经验。在他们的队伍中，他们有无数的球员目前效力于欧洲五大联赛之一，他们的素质和经验将在这场比赛中发挥作用。我们支持比利时赢得这场比赛，拿下全部三分
