World Cup Matchday 2 Predictions: Belgium, France, England in Action

We predict Belgium to win 2-1. Doku is out injured but Lukaku gives them a different edge off the bench. Iran have shown real quality but the travel disruption from Tijuana could take a toll late in the game.

We predict Uruguay to win 2-0. Cabo Verde have been the story of the tournament so far but Bielsa's side have far more firepower in this one.

We predict Argentina to win 3-0. Messi and co looked ruthless against Algeria and Austria have shown defensive frailties despite their own opening win.

We predict France to win 4-0. Mbappe and co were clinical against Senegal and Iraq have had a deeply disrupted preparation heading into this tournament.

We predict Norway to win 2-1. Haaland and co put four past Iraq and look the form side in Group I, but Senegal will not go down without a fight.

We predict 1-1. Both sides lost their openers and need a result badly. A nervy, cagey affair with everything still to play for.

We predict Portugal to win 3-0. Ronaldo and co were below par against DR Congo and will want a response. Uzbekistan are debutants finding their feet at this level.

We predict England to win 2-1. Tuchel's side were excellent against Croatia but Ghana have shown real steel and organisation. The Black Stars will make this a fight.
