Friday’s Best 2026 World Cup Picks & Predictions: Egypt vs. Iran
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Egypt (+145) vs. Iran (+280) | Draw (+165) | O/U 1.5 (-180/+146)
In Group G play, Iran is right in the mix with a pair of draws, including a stunning 0-0 result against Belgium. It also drew 2-2 with New Zealand in the opener.
For Egypt, it sits atop Group G with the only victory in the group so far, a 3-1 win over New Zealand last time out. All-world striker Mohamed Salah has two assists in the tournament. Iran’s Ramin Rezaeian has a goal and an assist through two matches.
This match smacks of a draw, and we could even see a scoreless draw. The only concern is Iran being able to throw a blanket on Salah. He might be the best player the Iranians have seen to date.
