Get a 100% bonus up to £50 ahead of Iran vs New Zealand

Iran and New Zealand meet at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Tuesday night in their World Cup Group G opener. The two sides have never faced each other in a competitive fixture, and what better time to first meet, with everything to play for.

Ahead of this crucial clash, 247Bet are offering new customers the chance to grab a 100% bonus up to £50. Sign up via our link, opt in, and deposit £20 or more – 247Bet will match it pound for pound up to £50.

Iran have left out star striker Sardar Azmoun, but their squad is still incredibly battle‑hardened. Experienced coach Amir Ghalenoei steers the ship, with dependable midfielder Saman Ghoddos pulling the strings and skipper Mehdi Taremi leading the line. The lightning‑fast Al‑Nasr winger Mehdi Ghayedi will also pose a serious threat on the break.

New Zealand are back at the World Cup for the first time since 2010, and Darren Bazeley has developed an exciting, modern possession‑based style. Towering captain Chris Wood leads the attack, supported by technically gifted wide players who will look to feed the Nottingham Forest target-man. Liberato Cacace and Tommy Smith will provide defensive experience across the backline.

Net even more value with 247Bet

To claim the offer, you simply need to head to 247Bet, via our link, and opt in via the cashier. From there, make your first deposit of at least £20. 247Bet will match any deposit pound for pound up to the £50 mark!

A perfect boost for a Group G opener where both sides will see three points as essential for progression.

Taremi’s quality to be the difference

Iran have qualified for four consecutive World Cups now, and came agonisingly close to the knockout stage in both 2018 and 2022 – holding Portugal to a draw and beating Wales last time out. New Zealand, by contrast, are ranked 85th in the world and lack that level of big‑game exposure. Expect Ghalenoei’s battle‑hardened side to use their tactical discipline and defensive resilience to control the tempo and edge a tight contest.

• Iran to win
• Under 2.5 goals

New Zealand will sit deep and frustrate, but Iran’s tournament nous should see them through. A low‑scoring victory for Team Melli looks the most likely outcome.
