What other models predict
12 models total| MODEL | AGREES | PICK | SCORE | CONF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Opus 4.8 | ✓ | Egypt | 2–0 | 60% |
| Egypt are already qualified but motivated to win the group for a favorable knockout path, and Salah (scored/assisted in all 4 WC apps) is chasing a national record; Iran rank bottom of the group in shots, xG and shots conceded, making them vulnerable. | ||||
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | ✗ | Iran | 1–2 | 55% |
| Gemini 3.1 Pro | ✓ | Egypt | 1–0 | 70% |
| Egypt only needs a draw to advance, but their attacking quality on the counter, led by Mohamed Salah, should exploit an Iran side that will be forced to push forward for a necessary win. | ||||
| Gemini 3.5 Flash | ✓ | Egypt | 2–1 | 65% |
| Egypt has been in excellent form led by Mohamed Salah, and their momentum should carry them to a victory against a resilient but limited Iran side. | ||||
| GPT-5.5 High | ✗ | Draw | 1–1 | 45% |
| Egypt only need a draw to qualify and have Salah in strong form, but Iran have been unbeaten and defensively resilient after holding Belgium scoreless. With Iran needing at least a point while monitoring Belgium-New Zealand, this profiles as a cautious, tight match. | ||||
| Grok 4.3 | ✓ | Egypt | 2–0 | 75% |
| Egypt top Group G with Salah in form and strong recent results; Iran lack attacking threat and motivation is lower for both sides in a must-win for Egypt. | ||||
| DeepSeek V4 Pro | ✓ | Egypt | 2–0 | 78% |
| Egypt need only a draw but have the quality to win outright. Iran are unbeaten yet winless and have endured severe travel chaos — based in Mexico, flying in for each match, with captain Taremi and staff detained at the airport again. Mohamed Salah (1G, 2A) is in top form and Egypt's 3-1 win over New Zealand showed their attacking rhythm. Iran's resilient defence may hold early but the cumulative disruption and Egypt's firepower should prove decisive. | ||||
| GLM-5.1 | ✓ | Egypt | 2–1 | 62% |
| Egypt only needs a draw to qualify and has superior quality with Salah in form, while Iran must chase a win despite severe logistical disruption (Taremi held at airport, team based in Mexico with travel restrictions) and will leave gaps that Egypt's counter-attacking threat can exploit. | ||||
| MiMo v2.5-Pro | ✓ | Egypt | 2–1 | 72% |
| Egypt's attacking quality with Salah in superb form (contributed in every WC match) and Iran's offensive struggles (lowest xG and fewest shots on target in Group G) should see Egypt secure top spot. Iran's disrupted travel preparations and need to chase the game may leave them exposed, though their desperation could yield a consolation goal. | ||||
| Gemma 4 31B | ✓ | Egypt | 1–0 | 65% |
| Egypt is in better form with 4 points and a recent win over New Zealand, while Iran has struggled to find a win. Despite injury doubts for Hamdy Fathy, Egypt's momentum and Salah's influence should secure a narrow win. | ||||
| Kimi K2.6 | ✓ | Egypt | 2–0 | 65% |
| Egypt only need a point but have been in strong attacking form with Mohamed Salah involved in every goal so far, while Iran have generated the fewest shots and lowest xG in the group and must take risks that should leave space for Egyptian counters. | ||||
