Here are the latest Samui Unlocked predictions.
Samui Unlocked Predictions
🇪🇸 Spain vs 🇨🇻 Cape Verde
Prediction: Spain 3 - 0 Cape Verde
Spain should control most of the game and create enough chances to win comfortably. Cape Verde have earned their place here, but this is a very tough fixture.
Winner: Spain
🇧🇪 Belgium vs 🇪🇬 Egypt
Prediction: Belgium 2 - 0 Egypt
Belgium have the quality to break Egypt down, although this may not be a goal fest. Egypt are usually difficult to play against, so patience could be needed.
Winner: Belgium
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia vs 🇺🇾 Uruguay
Prediction: Saudi Arabia 1 - 2 Uruguay
Saudi Arabia can make this awkward, but Uruguay’s experience and edge in attacking quality should be enough to take the points.
Winner: Uruguay
🇮🇷 Iran vs 🇳🇿 New Zealand
Prediction: Iran 2 - 0 New Zealand
Iran should be the stronger side here and will likely control the tempo for long spells.
Winner: Iran

Results Update
We had planned to publish a separate results post covering Sunday's matches, but a power cut on our area had other ideas.
Rather than rushing it out late, we'll include a full results roundup and scorecard update in tomorrow's World Cup results post.
Hopefully the football gods are kinder to our predictions than the electric company was to our publishing schedule.
