Egypt sit top of Group G with four points from two games and need only a draw against Iran at Lumen Field in Seattle on June 26 to secure a first-ever World Cup knockout-round berth. Iran, level on two points with Belgium, must win to keep their own qualification hopes fully alive. The Egypt vs Iran World Cup 2026 predictions market has Egypt as narrow favorites at +145, with the draw trading at +175 and Iran as the outsider at +295.
Egypt’s position is straightforward: a draw or a win against Iran confirms their place in the Round of 16, the furthest any Egyptian side has ever gone at a World Cup. Iran’s situation is more precarious. Manager A. Ghalenoei’s side have drawn both group games so far, picking up two points against New Zealand and Belgium, and a second draw here would likely not be enough if Belgium win their final fixture. The Egypt vs Iran odds reflect that Egypt carry more room for error heading into this decisive Group G closer.
