#广场预测世界杯赢40000U June 16 World Cup 4 Full Predictions: Powerhouses All in Action, Watch Out for Upsets

Gathering all the night owl football fans! The first round of the 2026 North America, Mexico, and Canada World Cup group stage continues. On June 16, Beijing time, four matches back-to-back from midnight to 9 a.m., featuring Spain, Belgium, Uruguay—all top contenders—and Asian powerhouse Iran.

00:00 Group H Spain vs Cape Verde
Key focus: European Championship champion's debut, can the new World Cup team withstand the pressure?
As the reigning European champion, Spain is currently ranked No. 2 in the FIFA World Rankings, with a total team value exceeding 1.2 billion euros. Rodrigo and Pedri control the midfield rhythm, 18-year-old Yamal leads the sharp attacking line, and their passing and possession system is highly refined. The depth of their main and substitute lineups is unmatched in the group.
In contrast, Cape Verde is a newcomer to the World Cup, representing Africa for the first time. They are ranked 67th in the world, with a team value of only 55 million euros. Most players compete in lower-tier European leagues. Both individual ability and tournament experience are significantly below Spain’s level.
This match is likely to see Spain dominate possession throughout, breaking the deadlock in the first half. As the opponent’s stamina declines in the second half, the score will further widen. Cape Verde has some defensive resilience but will find it difficult to withstand 90 minutes of continuous pressure, making it very hard to score.
Prediction reference: Spain 3-0 Cape Verde

03:00 Group G Belgium vs Egypt
Key focus: De Bruyne vs Salah, Belgium’s golden generation faces tough opponents
This is the most suspenseful match of the day. Belgium is ranked 9th in the world, with a total value of 550 million euros. Veteran players like De Bruyne and Lukaku bring tournament experience, while the new generation like Doku is full of explosive speed. They have maintained a 13-match unbeaten streak, with stable form on both offense and defense.
Egypt is known as a “hard nut to crack,” playing ultra-compact defense and counterattack tactics. Their star player Salah has the ability to change the game single-handedly, and Marmoush’s offensive impact is also notable. Their disciplined defense is excellent at slowing down the game and wearing down strong teams.
Belgium’s midfield control is superior, and their continuous offensive pressure can create many threats. However, Egypt’s counterattack efficiency cannot be ignored, and they are likely to score through individual brilliance. Overall, Belgium’s strength is slightly better, with a higher chance of winning their first match, but the process will not be easy.
Prediction reference: Belgium 2-1 Egypt

06:00 Group H Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay
Key focus: Will Saudi Arabia’s upset attribute reappear? Belsa’s Uruguay unleashes full firepower
When it comes to Saudi Arabia, many fans will recall their shocking victory over Argentina in the last World Cup opener. This team emphasizes disciplined defense and counterattack, with strong resilience under pressure, often causing surprises against top teams.
But this time, their opponent is Uruguay coached by Belsa. Led by Valverde and Nunez, their midfield and front line press high with maximum intensity, covering a lot of ground and attacking fiercely, just right to counter Saudi’s backline passing system. Although Uruguay’s defense has injury concerns, their overall strength remains superior.
Saudi Arabia will find it difficult to get comfortable counterattack opportunities like against Argentina. Facing continuous high-pressure pressing, their backfield passing errors will increase significantly. Uruguay is likely to secure the game with their frontline attacking power.
Prediction reference: Saudi Arabia 0-2 Uruguay

09:00 Group G Iran vs New Zealand
Key focus: Asian powerhouse in action, can Iran secure a winning start?
As a top Asian team, Iran’s physicality and defensive toughness are among the best in Asia. Their frontline features two European-based players, Azmoun and Taremi, with reliable scoring ability, and they have rich tournament experience.
New Zealand, representing Oceania, plays a style leaning towards British football, relying on aerial balls and physical impact. However, their overall technical finesse and squad depth are weaker than Iran’s, with more limited attacking options.
This match, Iran is fully capable of limiting New Zealand’s aerial assaults and, with their forwards’ individual skills, seizing scoring opportunities to steadily secure their first win of the group stage, opening the door for Asian teams.
Prediction reference: Iran 2-0 New Zealand
