Egypt vs Iran

Egypt have the slight edge thanks to their sturdier defensive baseline and recent goal numbers, but the draw is never far away in a World Cup setting where this kind of close game often ends level.

1-0 or 1-1—low scoring outcomes are the theme, though a draw is a very realistic alternative given how evenly the match sits.

Keep an eye on Egypt’s finishing versus Iran’s ability to mute chances—if it clicks for Egypt, they can nick it, but if it doesn’t, level scores become the safest landing spot.
