World Cup Tip, 16 June 2026
Iran vs New Zealand
Both Teams to Score - No (1.66)
This is a Both Teams to Score No play built around New Zealand's gutted attack. Captain and main marksman Chris Wood is a major doubt after a knee problem cost him roughly six months, and defender Tyler Bindon is also out, leaving the All Whites short of a cutting edge against an organised Iran side. Iran themselves left Sardar Azmoun at home for disciplinary reasons, so Mehdi Taremi carries the load in what shapes as a cagey, low-event opener. Under 2.5 at 1.60 is the natural sibling bet here.
🗸 Long Shot: Iran to win 1-0 (correct score) @ 6.50
🗸 Extra Tip: Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.60
France vs Senegal
France -1.5 Asian Handicap (2.35)
We are taking France on the -1.5 handicap rather than the cramped 1.49 match-winner price, because that line nearly doubles the return on a side stacked with match-winners. Kylian Mbappe has shaken off his thigh scare and William Saliba is fit to anchor the defence, while France are missing only the injured Hugo Ekitike. The caveat is that Sadio Mane's Senegal are ranked 14th in the world and carry real counter-attacking threat, so a one-goal France win would burn this ticket, which is why the straight win sits alongside as cover.
🗸 Long Shot: Kylian Mbappe to score 2 or more goals @ 5.50
🗸 Extra Tip: France to Win @ 1.49
Iraq vs Norway
Over 2.5 Goals (1.58)
The lead here is Over 2.5 Goals, with Erling Haaland fit and firing for his World Cup debut behind a Norway side that blitzed qualifying without dropping a match. Martin Odegaard pulls the strings as captain and Iraq, back at a World Cup for the first time since 1986, arrive as clear underdogs likely to be stretched. Norway -1.5 on the handicap is the obvious supporting line if you fancy the margin rather than just the goals.
🗸 Long Shot: Erling Haaland to score 2 or more goals @ 3.50
🗸 Extra Tip: Norway -1.5 Asian Handicap @ 1.60
