Iran vs New Zealand Prediction

Group G · Monday, June 15 · 9:00 PM ET · SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles · TV: FS1 (English), Peacock (Spanish)

Our prediction

Model win probability

53% Iran 26% Draw 22% New Zealand

Both sides open their Group G campaign here, so there is no tournament form to separate them yet. Expect a cagey opening: teams that avoid defeat on matchday one advance from their group about four times out of five historically.

Win probabilities from our Elo-based Monte Carlo model (methodology). Editorial preview, not betting advice.

Where they stand

Iran are yet to play in Group G. New Zealand are also yet to play. Top two qualify directly for the Round of 32; third can advance among the eight best thirds.
