The final round of Group G, Group H and Group I fixtures is here, and this may be one of the hardest prediction cards of the tournament so far.
The games have been full of surprises, favourites have dropped points, and several outsiders have shown they are more than capable of causing problems. With qualification places still up for grabs, expect tension, goals and a few nerves along the way.
Samui Unlocked Predictions
🇳🇴 Norway vs 🇫🇷 France
Prediction: Norway 2 - 2 France
France are still one of the strongest teams in the tournament, but Norway have shown they can score and compete with anyone. This feels like the kind of match where both sides may land punches.
Result: Draw
🇸🇳 Senegal vs 🇮🇶 Iraq
Prediction: Senegal 2 - 0 Iraq
Senegal have looked the stronger side despite some difficult results, while Iraq have struggled to create enough danger going forward. Senegal should have enough quality to finish with a win.
Winner: Senegal
🇨🇻 Cape Verde vs 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia
Prediction: Cape Verde 2 - 1 Saudi Arabia
Cape Verde have been one of the surprise stories of the tournament. After earning draws against Spain and Uruguay, they will believe they can keep the run going.
Winner: Cape Verde
🇺🇾 Uruguay vs 🇪🇸 Spain
Prediction: Uruguay 1 - 3 Spain
Uruguay are rarely easy to play against, but Spain looked much sharper in their last match. If Spain carry that rhythm forward, they could produce another strong attacking performance.
Winner: Spain
🇪🇬 Egypt vs 🇮🇷 Iran
Prediction: Egypt 2 - 1 Iran
This could be a tight and physical match, with both sides still fighting for position. Egypt have looked slightly more dangerous in attack, which may be enough to tip the balance.
Winner: Egypt
🇳🇿 New Zealand vs 🇧🇪 Belgium
Prediction: New Zealand 0 - 2 Belgium
Belgium have not been convincing, but this is still a match they should be looking to control. They need a strong response, and this may be their chance to finally deliver one.
Winner: Belgium
Prediction Summary
- 🇳🇴 Norway 2 - 2 France 🇫🇷
- 🇸🇳 Senegal 2 - 0 Iraq 🇮🇶
- 🇨🇻 Cape Verde 2 - 1 Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
- 🇺🇾 Uruguay 1 - 3 Spain 🇪🇸
- 🇪🇬 Egypt 2 - 1 Iran 🇮🇷
- 🇳🇿 New Zealand 0 - 2 Belgium 🇧🇪
France, Spain and Belgium are the big names on the card, but recent results have made one thing very clear: nothing is guaranteed at this World Cup.
If Cape Verde continue their remarkable run and Norway manage to frustrate France, this could be another wild day for the scorecard.
