Get a 100% bonus up to £50 ahead of New Zealand vs Belgium

New Zealand and Belgium meet at BC Place in Vancouver on Friday in a battle for survival in Group G. Egypt lead the group on four points and Iran sit second with two, leaving Belgium and New Zealand needing a win to keep their knockout hopes alive.

With Belgium’s World Cup hanging by a thread and New Zealand chasing a famous upset, 247Bet are offering new customers the chance to score a 100% bonus up to £50. Sign up via our link, opt in, and deposit £20 or more and 247Bet will match it pound for pound up to £50.

Belgium’s campaign has been a waking nightmare. Two draws, zero goals from their own players, and a Nathan Ngoy red card against Iran have left Rudi Garcia’s side with just two points. Their only goal so far came from an own goal against Egypt. 

Kevin De Bruyne has glittered in moments, but Romelu Lukaku – making his first start for club or country in over 12 months – huffed and puffed in attack. Jérémy Doku missed the Iran game to be with his wife for the birth of their son, but has rejoined the squad in Seattle ahead of this clash. 

New Zealand have been competitive but costly. They led Egypt 1-0 at half-time through Finn Surman’s header, only to concede three times in 24 second-half minutes to lose 3-1. Darren Bazeley’s side are the lowest-ranked team in the tournament at 84th in the world, but they pushed Iran to a 2-2 draw and have already shown they can be a stubborn opponent on the global stage.

Chris Wood leads the line, while Tommy Smith provides experience in their defence. Michael Boxall is suspended after accumulating two yellow cards, meaning a reshuffled backline must contend with Belgium’s attacking riches.

Belgium’s desperation to finally ignite against limited Kiwis

Belgium have had 38 shots across their two matches without scoring from open play, but their attacking quality should eventually shine through against a porous New Zealand defence. De Bruyne remains the maestro in midfield – with 37 goals in his 121 caps – and when he finds space between the lines, Belgium’s attack operates at a different level. With Doku potentially available to add width and Lukaku desperate to break his drought, the Red Devils have too much quality to be held again.

• Belgium to win
• Over 2.5 goals

New Zealand have conceded in both matches and will struggle to contain Belgium’s attacking depth. The Kiwis need a win themselves and will have to push forward, leaving space for De Bruyne and Trossard to exploit. Belgium’s tournament lives are on the line – expect an urgent, attacking performance that finally delivers the goals their quality demands.
