Group G: Tactical Chaos On The West Coast
Egypt vs Iran
Egypt enter the finale sitting comfortably at the top of Group G with 4 points, following a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Belgium and a vital Matchday 2 win. Iran sit just behind them on 2 points after grinding out two consecutive structural draws against New Zealand and Belgium. Egypt’s tactical discipline makes them incredibly tough to break down, while Iran need to balance attacking risks to secure direct qualification.
- Match Result: Egypt to win or Draw & Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.74
New Zealand vs Belgium
Belgium have endured a frustrating tournament structure so far, logging two points from defensive stalemates against Egypt (1-1) and Iran (0-0). The Red Devils must secure a victory here to guarantee passage without relying on third-place mathematics. New Zealand sit at the bottom with 1 point but showed real spirit in their opener against Iran. Expect Belgium’s elite quality to finally cut through.
- Match Result: Belgium to win & Over 1.5 Goals @ 1.25
Group H: The Spanish Armada & The South American Press
Uruguay vs Spain
Spain bounced back spectacularly from a shocking 0-0 opening draw against debutants Cape Verde by completely dismantling Saudi Arabia 4-0 on Matchday 2. Uruguay are level with Cape Verde on 2 points after recording a high-octane 3-3 draw in their opening block. Spain are hitting their stride, but Uruguay’s aggressive transitional press means both teams will find regular space in the final third.
- Match Result: Both Teams to Score (GG) @ 2.02
Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde
Cape Verde have been one of the tournament’s absolute fairytale stories, keeping an historic clean sheet against Spain. Saudi Arabia are sitting on 1 point and might be heavily shaken after their 4-0 defeat to La Roja. Cape Verde know that avoiding defeat puts them on the brink of an iconic Round of 32 spot.
- Match Result: Cape Verde to win or Draw @ 1.48
Group I: The European Heavyweights Lock Horns
France vs Norway
This is a battle of the elite. Both France and Norway have already officially secured passage to the knockout stages after securing consecutive wins over Senegal and Iraq. Les Bleus currently hold the top spot on goal difference. With the pressure entirely off and top seed status on the line, expect an open, expressive, and highly entertaining football display in Miami.
- Match Result: Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.67
Senegal vs Iraq
With France and Norway completely dominating Group I, this match is a direct survival shootout. Both teams suffered heavy defeats against the group leaders and sit on 0 points. Because the eight best third-placed teams advance to the Round of 32, a decisive, high-margin win for either side could completely revive their World Cup dreams. Expect an aggressive, end-to-end battle.
- Match Result: Senegal to win & Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.67
