LiontipsIran - New Zealand: betting tip (cf 1.82) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
The national team almost became the first team to withdraw from the World Cup since 1950. But in the end, the princes of Persia still came to the world Championship, and FIFA allowed the Iranians to be based in Mexico, but the matches are held in the United States. The Iranians confidently qualified, taking first place in the group. In the qualifying stage, the team scored 18 goals, the third result among all Asian teams (only Japan had 30 and South Korea had 20 more). It should also be noted that Iran has not lost since March, having beaten Costa Rica, Gambia and Mali in turn.
Head coach Amir Galenoi had previously managed to coach the national team from July 2006 to July 2007, but did not achieve any results. But the second coming happened in March 2023, and the specialist led his wards to the world championship.
The star Serdar Azmun was not included in the application of the Princes of Persia. But forward Mehdi Taremi from Olympiacos, striker from Rostov Mohammad Mohebi and ex-defender Akhmat Milad Mohammadi came to the tournament.
Disqualifications and injuries
Cheshmi and Jahanbakhsh will miss the game due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Iran has won five times in the last seven matches.
- The national team scored an average of 1.6 goals per game in the last 10 matches.

Current form
The upcoming World Cup is the third for New Zealand. The national team previously qualified for the tournament in 1982 and 2010. Now, after the expansion of the membership, it will be easier for New Zealanders to qualify. Darren Bazeley's team won their group confidently at first, and then defeated Fiji (7-0) and New Caledonia (3-0) in the playoffs. Interestingly, at the 2010 World Cup, White remained the only team that did not suffer a single defeat in the tournament! Then the representatives of Oceania drew three times, but did not get out of the group. Thus, the New Zealanders are still striving for their first World Championship victory.
Englishman Darren Bazeley has been coaching New Zealand since 2023 and has won the Oceania Cup 2024 with them. Under his leadership, the national team moved away from the primitive game through forward throws and mastered the pressure. The team includes captain Chris Wood from Nottingham Forest, Wrexham defender Liberato Cacace and Tyler Bindon from Sheffield United, as well as the powerful Marko Stamenicu from Swansea City, who plays in midfield.
Disqualifications and injuries
Thomas will miss the game due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- New Zealand has won just one game in the last ten matches.
- In the past five games, White has conceded an average of two goals.
Approximate line–up: Krocombe – Payne, Surmann, Boxall, Kakache - Belle, Stamenich – Just, Singh, Garbett – Wood.

Betting 2nd half: Iran's victory

Tip and bets
Iran is approaching the first match of the world Championship with strong results in recent times. Amir Galenoi's team won three games in a row and scored 10 goals in the test matches against Mali, Costa Rica and the Gambia.
New Zealand's main hopes lie with Captain Chris Wood. The country's all-time top scorer (45 goals) highlighted his importance during qualifying by scoring two consecutive hat-tricks in the qualifiers against Samoa and Fiji. However, it will be unrealistic to score against Iran with a reliable defense that has conceded only three goals in the last seven matches. The lack of victories in friendly games means that white will not be able to win.
The betting tip is that Iran will win with a coefficient of 1.82
Bet on the total
Iran has been playing attacking football lately, but not all matches are productive. Four of the last seven games of the Princes of Persia ended with a lower total, and only Costa Rica, Nigeria and the Gambia managed to score more than two goals between them. New Zealand has conceded an average of two goals in the last 10 games, and has not scored at all in four of the last five meetings. We believe that the opponents will not be able to arrange a scoring extravaganza in Los Angeles.
The betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.60
Betting on corners
The opponents will play on opposite courses and will probably spend a lot of time on offense, and they won't be able to stay too long on defense, either for Iran or New Zealand. In the past five matches, White has served at least nine corners, and we believe that there will be many corners today.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 8.5 with a coefficient of 2.07
