Iceland and Belgium meet in Game 2 of the FIBA Eurobasket Group D stage and only one will walk out with their first win of this round. Both sides know another loss would severely damage their knockout stage hopes, making this a must-win encounter that should bring out the best in two proud basketball nations. Check out our best Iceland vs Belgium match prediction below.

The recent history between these teams tells a clear story that heavily favors the Belgians. They've dominated this matchup in recent years, winning their last two meetings and four of their last five encounters across all competitions. More tellingly, when Belgium wins against Iceland, they tend to do it convincingly, as their last four victories have all come by double-digit margins, including a 90-62 thrashing in the last game. 

Belgium's recent 92-64 loss to France was painful, but losing to the tournament favorites isn't exactly shameful. Iceland's situation looks more concerning after falling 83-71 to Israel, a result that raises questions about their ability to compete at this level.

That defeat came against opposition many would consider less formidable than France, suggesting Iceland might struggle more against quality European teams. Belgium's experience in handling pressure, combined with their historical dominance in this head-to-head matchup, should give them the psychological edge they need to bounce back effectively.
