Belgium star Eden Hazard has tipped the Super Eagles and Argentina to make it from Group D of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Iceland and Croatia are the other teams in the group but the Chelsea man said the three-time African champions will place second behind the South Americans.

“This is my prediction on 2018 World Cup! Hazard wrote on Instagram on Tuesday. Lot’s of my @chelseafc teammates in mine.”

Continuing, he predicted that the Nigeria will face France in the round of 16 and will be eliminated while Argentina will beat Denmark and progress into the quarter-finals.

Belgium are in Group G at this year’s finals with England, Panama and Tunisia.
