BetVictor’s 2026 World Cup Predictions: MD6
Here at BetVictor News, we take a closer look at the odds, best bets and provide our World Cup predictions for every fixture on matchday 6. First up, Iran take on New Zealand before World Cup betting favourites France entertain African heavyweights Senegal and then World Cup dark horses Norway square off against Iraq.
Iran Vs New Zealand Prediction
Entertaining their fourth successive World Cup finals, BetVictor is predicting Iran to get the job done against New Zealand in Los Angeles. The Asian nation have never progressed beyond the group stages and we fancy a 2-1 win here will put them on track to make history.
As for the All Whites, they famously went undefeated in their 2010 campaign (drawing all three games) but still went home early. They are still a number of years away from mixing it with the world’s best and feel Team Melli’s gulf in class will be evident at the SoFi.
Iran Vs New Zealand Best Bets
- Iran to win 2-1 at 15/2
- Mehdi Taremi to score anytime at 13/8
- Over 3.5 goals at 17/4
With Iran being a tricky side to navigate – reflected by their FIFA ranking of No. 20 – so a 2-1 win with star man Mehdi Taremi scoring is appealing. Add over 3.5 goals to the treble provides a total price of 116/1. Which is something to bear in mind when it comes to World Cup betting on BetVictor’s Iran vs New Zealand betting markets.
Iran Vs New Zealand Odds
- Iran – 9/10
- Draw – 9/4
- New Zealand – 10/3
Although it may not appear to be the most exciting World Cup game on paper, the match is of extremely high importance as far as Amir Ghalenoei’s side are concerned. With the Iran vs New Zealand odds implying a win for Team Melli is the most likely outcome, Ghalenoei will need to ensure his players get the job done.
France Vs Senegal Prediction
A strong France win against their 2002 nemesis will put them very much on course for a deep run and we are backing Les Bleus to do just that in New Jersey. We are going to go for a 3-0 win as our France vs Senegal prediction in the Group I opener.
The French have World Cup top scorer betting favourite Kylian Mbappe to rely upon and with the Lions of Teranga still hurting after their AFCON victory was snatched away from them, the 2018 winners will be keen to deliver a statement win.
France Vs Senegal Best Bets
- France to win both halves at 21/20
- Kylian Mbappe to scorer anytime at 21/20
- France to win 3-0 at 17/2
With plenty of firepower in their ranks, we fancy France to win both halves, Kylian Mbappe to net at any point of the match and Les Bleus to win 3-0. That is currently available at 39/1 on the treble so naturally, there is plenty of value if it lands.
France Vs Senegal Odds
- France – 4/9
- Draw – 16/5
- Senegal – 13/2
Unsurprisingly, the France vs Senegal odds indicate that a win for Didier Deschamps side is on the cards. The 2018 victors and 2022 runners-up are one of the most feared sides at the tournament and as tricky as Senegal can be, they are unlikely to stop Les Bleus.
Iraq Vs Norway Prediction
Many consider Norway to be the most likely 2026 World Cup dark horse and they can prove that theory correct with a hefty win on MD6. The Nordic nation are expected to do just that and we fancy Erling Haaland and co. to rack up a 4-1 win in Boston.
The Man City superstar is arguably the finest out-and-out striker on the global stage and with the likes of Martin Odegaard and Antonio Nusa supplying the ammunition, it could be a long night for Lions of Mesopotamia.
Iraq Vs Norway Best Bets
- Over 4.5 goals at 13/1
- Erling Haaland to score 2+ goals at 15/8
- Norway over 6 corners at 6/5
Rank outsiders Iraq could well feel the wrath of Norway and in particular, Erling Haaland. Hence why we are going for the Man City striker to score 2+ goals and over 4.5 in total. With Stale Solbakken’s side expected to attack constantly, over 6 corners also offers value.
Iraq Vs Norway Odds
- Iraq – 14/1
- Draw – 6/1
- Norway – 1/6
As the Iraq vs Norway odds suggest, it is unlikely Graham Arnold’s side will cause a World Cup upset in Massachusetts. A sizable win here will give the Norwegians the perfect platform to build on when they face France and Senegal later in the group stages.
