Iran vs New Zealand Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 2.13 expected goals for Iran and 1.14 for New Zealand, a combined total of 3.27. That distribution gives Iran the largest share of the 1X2 market at 60%, with the draw at 20%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 64% for over 2.5 goals and 60% for both teams to score, with 2–1 the single most likely scoreline at 10%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 60% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Iran win, at 60.0%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 60% and over 2.5 goals at 64%.
A 60% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
