Summary
Jon Eimer’s featured pick for Monday’s Group G nightcap is under 2.5 goals, with the SportsLine analyst also making two other bets, including one at plus money.
FanDuel lists Iran at -130 on the 90-minute money line, with New Zealand at +400 and the draw at +240 for the 9 p.m. ET kickoff in Los Angeles.
Iran enter as the stronger side on paper at No. 20 in FIFA’s rankings, while No. 85 New Zealand are the tournament’s lowest-ranked team and have never won in six previous World Cup matches.
Group G futures still favor Belgium at -250, with Iran at +700 and New Zealand at +2500, underscoring how important Monday’s opener could be to both teams’ hopes of advancing.
