Turkey vs Iran Prediction 19 July 2026
🔊 Turkey and Iran head into their head-to-head clash following an action-packed third week of the Nations League. The Turkish squad remain in the hunt for a top finish and have already shown they can compete on equal terms with the tournament’s elite. Iran, despite undergoing a challenging roster overhaul, continue to be a tough opponent who rarely allow favourites an easy win.
Head-to-Head
📊 The most recent official meeting between these sides took place in 2024, when Turkey claimed a 3-1 victory. There are no more recent head-to-head encounters in the available data.
Turkey Team Overview
Turkey are enjoying a strong tournament campaign and remain firmly in the hunt for top positions. In their previous outing, they fell to Slovenia (1-3), but before that, they notched crucial wins over Ukraine (3-2) and Serbia (3-0). Earlier in the competition, the Turks pushed Poland to the limit, narrowly losing in a tie-break (2-3).

⭐️ Editor’s Prediction
At first glance, Turkey appear to be the favourites here thanks to their more consistent run throughout the tournament. However, when it comes to betting, the point spread is worth a closer look. Even in defeat, Iran rarely allow their opponents to pull away by a wide margin-a trend backed up by the stats: Iran have covered the +11.5 point spread in nine consecutive Nations League matches. Given Iran’s resilience and their ability to fight for every set, backing Iran with a +11.5 point spread looks like the most well-founded prediction.
