Hazard is heading to Russia with the star-studded Belgium squad and will play the Three Lions in the group stages.

And he’s expecting the two countries to lock horns again at the tournament in the July 15 final in Moscow.

Hazard revealed his World Cup prediction for the knockout stages in an Instragram post.

The Chelsea superstar, who will form a potent-looking attack along with the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Kevin de Bruyne, thinks Belgium will win Group G, with England second.

For the last 16 he’s backing his side to see off Poland and England to beat Colombia.

The quality of sides then really ratchets up, with Hazard predicting Belgium to see off Brazil and then France and England to beat Germany and Argentina en route to the final at the Luzhniki Stadium.

Hazard posted his World Cup prediction on the social media website - and fans wasted little time getting stuck into the attacking ace for his left-field picks.

“You Belgians can’t even win (against) Portugal without Ronaldo, but you think you can win a World Cup... ok... I can’t stop your dreams,” posted one Instagram user.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA,” wrote another.

A third posted: “Boy, you on drugs?"

Another wrote: "England to beat Germany? AND THEN ARGENTINA? you are mad."

Both England and Belgium get their World Cup campaigns underway on Monday.

The Three Lions take on Tunisia with Roberto Martinez’s side in action against Panama.

England play Belgium in their final Group G match in Kaliningrad on June 28.
