Belgium vs Senegal Football Prediction: A Worthwhile Choice

Belgium vs Senegal football prediction, Round of 32, World Cup 2026, 3 AM on July 2nd: Belgium is criticized but still has 3 experts predicting a win, while Senegal has 2, a noteworthy result.

Belgium is unbeaten and tops Group G, but is perhaps the most disappointing team in the 2026 World Cup group stage, due to their inconsistency and lack of fighting spirit.

In their first two matches, Belgium didn't even know how to score, with their 1-1 draw against Egypt resulting from an own goal by the opponent, and then a goalless draw with Iran .

Nevertheless, in a must-win match or face an early exit, Kevin de Bruyne and his teammates had their moments, crushing New Zealand 5-1 and jumping to the top of the group (5 points).

Meanwhile, Senegal staged a spectacular comeback in Group I to become the only team with 3 points in the standings, securing a place in the round of 32.

Placed in a tough group, it's no surprise that Senegal lost to both France (1-3) and Norway (2-3), leaving them with no points after 2 matches.

Just when it seemed the African representatives had lost their chance to secure a spot among the eight best third-placed teams, in their final match, Senegal thrashed Iraq 5-0.

Having achieved this great victory, Senegal is even more motivated and determined to fight Belgium in order to advance further in the 2026 World Cup.

Heading into the match, football fans were hoping that, after the setbacks and inconsistencies in the group stage, Belgium would perform better, with the experience of De Bruyne and Lukaku coming to the fort to help them overcome difficult moments against Senegal.

However, from ESPN's perspective, if Senegal can maintain the intensity they showed against Iraq, they won't let a struggling Belgium team achieve that, thanks to their physical advantage and pressing ability. ESPN predicts that Senegal will eliminate Belgium from the 2026 World Cup in the round of 32.

BBC football expert Chris Sutton was also impressed with Senegal, and didn't hesitate to predict the African side would beat Belgium 3-1 .

However, the other three experts disagreed and all predicted a Belgian victory. Specifically, Sportsmole predicted a 2-0 win for Belgium against Senegal , Sportskeeda predicted a 2-1 win for Belgium against Senegal , and Khel Now envisioned a goalfest with Belgium winning 4-3 against Senegal .
