This should be easy for Belgium.

Belgium is for me one of the main candidates along with France to win the tournament. They have an excellent squad, with a great coach and full of confidence. Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard will be out for this match but the squad is good enough to replace him.

They are the big favorites in this group, but to achieve the 1st position they must win against the two weaker sides: Finland and Russia. I saw them pretty good in the last friendly against Croatia.

This team has a lot of quality and experience, as we must remember that they achieved the bronze medal in the last World Cup in 2018. They showed in the qualification stage how ready they are for this tournament, as they were the best team winning the 10 games played, scoring 40 goals and conceding just 3.

On the other hand, Russia is a really poor side. They are weaker than in the previous tournament (World Cup 2018) where they made great performances based on a good defence.

They will try to do the same in this tournament, and especially in the group stage. They will need to avoid conceding too many goals against Belgium, win against Finland and avoid a defeat against Denmark, so their plan for this match will be the same as always in the last few years: be defensive.

But if Russia does that, Belgium will have for sure chances to score goals and win the match. Belgium is a national team who feels really comfortable with the ball, especially in attack where they have players with a lot of quality to find different alternatives to score goals. The quality and dribbling of Carrasco, the goals and danger inside the area of Lukaku, and the surprises of Mertens.

We must remember that both teams played together already in the qualification stage, and Belgium won both games easily: 1:3 and 1:4. There they showed that the difference between booths sides are huge, and lineups will be almost the same.

这对比利时来说应该很容易。

对我来说，比利时是和法国一起赢得世界杯的主要候选人之一。他们有一支优秀的队伍，有一个伟大的教练，充满信心。德布鲁因和阿扎德将缺席这场比赛，但是球队已经足够好来代替他。

他们是本组的大热门，但要获得第一名，他们必须战胜两支实力较弱的球队:芬兰和俄罗斯。我在上一场对克罗地亚的友谊赛中看到了他们的出色表现。

这支球队有很多的质量和经验，我们必须记住，他们在2018年的世界杯上获得了铜牌。他们在预选赛阶段就展示了他们对本届世界杯的准备，因为他们是最好的球队，赢得了10场比赛，进了40球，只丢了3球。

另一方面，俄罗斯是一个非常贫穷的国家。他们比上一届世界杯(2018年世界杯)更弱，在上届世界杯上，他们凭借良好的防守取得了出色的表现。

他们将努力在本届世界杯上做到这一点，特别是在小组赛阶段。他们需要避免在对阵比利时时丢太多球，战胜芬兰，避免在对阵丹麦时失败，所以他们在这场比赛中的计划将和过去几年一样:防守。

但如果俄罗斯能做到这一点，比利时肯定有机会进球并赢得比赛。比利时是一支对球感觉很舒服的国家队，特别是在进攻方面，他们有很多有能力的球员来寻找不同的进球选择。卡拉斯科的高质量和带球，卢卡库禁区内的进球和危险，还有梅尔滕斯的惊喜。

我们必须记住，两支球队已经在资格赛阶段已经交手过，比利时队轻松赢得了两场比赛:3:1和4:1。阵容将几乎相同。
