The Belgium national football team is set to take on Canada on Wednesday evening. Belgium’s team which includes Kevin De Bruyne, Thibaut Courtois, and Eden Hazard would certainly be a difficult opponent. Despite their fierce opposition, Osorio is ready to defy expectations in the Group F fixture at Al Rayyan Stadium.
Both teams have talented players, but it will be interesting to see which team can click together and get the victory. Belgium has more experience at big tournaments, while Canada has shown some flair in recent appearances.

Belgium vs Canada Prediction
Canada is one of five countries to have featured at the World Cup, but never scored a goal. It remains to be seen if this may change in Qatar, where manager John Herdman has a fleet-footed frontline that might enable the team to breakthrough the deadlock. Belgium is a powerhouse with a wealth of experience and talent, while Canada is a young team that is still learning the ropes. Belgium is a more experienced squad and are known for their ability to play attacking football. This should be an exciting match with plenty of action going on both offensively and defensively. Belgium is likely to win, but it could go either way.
