LOSS

Was die Sicht geprägt hat

The first-half over reference suggests the market expects some early pace, but the full-game over relies more on second-half game-state movement with both teams on 1 point and neither safely qualified.
Belgium start a full attacking 4-2-3-1 with De Bruyne, Trossard, Saelemaekers and Lukaku, plus Lukebakio, De Ketelaere and Vanaken as late attacking options. Iran’s 5-4-1 is compact but has Taremi as the outlet and several forward substitutes if chasing.
Closest rejected family: Asian Handicap. Belgium -1.25 needs a two-goal margin and is fragile against Iran’s back five, while Iran +1.25 requires trusting resistance against sustained Belgium service. Over 2.5 better captures Belgium pressure, Iran chase states, and late bench tempo.

Warum es im Board ist

Complete

This is an efficient board, so the edge is thin. Over 2.5 is the cleanest expression of the lineups: Belgium have central creation, wide service and a clear box target, while Iran’s draw-to-win incentive means a Belgium opener should force more risk from a 5-4-1 that has attacking replacements available.

Hauptrisiko

Tactical Counter: Iran can keep the first hour compact, isolate Taremi, and turn Belgium possession into low-tempo crossing, creating a 1-0, 2-0 or 1-1 risk.
