India vs Belgium (IND vs BEL) Match Preview
IND vs BEL Match Preview: India is set to take on Belgium in FIH Hockey Men World Cup 2026 Belgium and Netherlands 2026 on Friday, 28 August 2026 at 09:45 PM IST.
In the second round of the FIH World Cup, India faced formidable teams like the Netherlands and Argentina. Indias defense could not withstand the challenge posed by these sides; conceding a total of eight goals across two defeats led to their elimination from the tournament. Now, they are set to play their final match against the worlds number-1 team, Belgium—a side whose dream of winning a second World Cup title was shattered.
For Belgium, this match is a matter of motivation. When in top form, they are a far stronger team than India; however, the question remains whether their players will be mentally prepared for this game after being knocked out of the tournament. We can expect an open contest, with both teams likely playing under less defensive pressure. Therefore, betting on over 4.5 goals in the match would be a wise decision.
