New Zealand and Belgium go head-to-head for the first time ever, in a crucial World Cup 2026 Group G fixture that’s a virtual knockout. The Red Devils guarantee progress with a win, while the All Whites will need other results to go their way.
Belgium may be overwhelming favorites against the 84th-ranked Kiwis, but they have blown tepid and cold so far, the goalless draw with Iran particularly dispiriting. Even their 1-1 draw against Egypt came courtesy of an own goal, sparked by Romelu Lukaku’s introduction. Yet the Napoli forward and Kevin De Bruyne looked off the pace against Iran and coach Rudi Garcia will need Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard on form to extend Belgium’s 15-match unbeaten streak with a necessary victory.
New Zealand, meanwhile, are bottom. They let a lead slip twice against Iran in a 2-2 draw and then squandered another early advantage against Egypt, eventually falling to a 3-1 defeat. With recent form not on their side – four losses from their six games in 2026 – Darren Bazeley will hope for a stronger defensive display and rely on the likes of Chris Wood and Elijah Just to provide the goals at the other end.
New Zealand need to win to have a third-place route, while hoping Iran fail to beat Egypt if they’re to finish second.
