General match analysis

Iran has the advantage in experience, physicality and off-the-ball organization. New Zealand can be dangerous with direct actions, but in extended phases they should struggle to penetrate the penalty area. Our probability distribution is Iran 65%, draw 21% and New Zealand 14%. At odds of 1.93 the model shows EV of approximately +25.4%, so the price offers a real edge versus our valuation. The risk is a low-scoring game and a limited number of chances, but at this valuation Iran still looks like a sensible bet. Status: BET.
