After a disapointing opening game with a 0:2 against Italia, Belgium must win its second game against Ireland.
Belgium was at the beginning of the year number 1 in the FIFA-World ranking and is now placed second behind Argentina. But the powerful offense could not score against Italia and for sure this must change against Ireland.
Belgium lost no competitve match against Ireland (2 wins, 5 draws)
Coach Marc Wilmots can again count on Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazart who will probably come back in the starting eleven. On the other side the Irish forward Jon Walters is out.
As this is a must win for Belgium and they are clear favourite against Ireland I will back Belgium. However I don't think it will be an easy game against a well organised Irish side.
My prediction: Belgium 2:0 Ireland
