Belgium vs. IR Iran - Exact Score

Active sub-markets

Market context

Polymarket is pricing the Belgium vs IR Iran exact-score contract at **4% YES**, so the market is assigning a low but non-trivial chance that the final 90-minute score lands on one of the listed outcomes rather than *Any Other Score*. On Polymarket, the contract settles in USDC on Polygon through conditional tokens, and the outcome is determined solely by the score after regulation plus stoppage time; extra time and penalties do not count.

That 4% should be read against a fixture where mainstream match markets have Belgium as a clear favourite, with Fox Sports showing Belgium around **-235** and Iran around **+644**, while ESPN’s live market similarly had Belgium near **-235** and the total around **2.5 goals**.[1][3] Those prices imply that exact-score bets are usually hard to hit even when the favourite is expected to win, because common results cluster around a few scores such as 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 rather than one specific line. CBS Sports also framed Belgium as the stronger side before kick-off and projected a 2-1 type of game, which is the sort of narrow but not score-specific outcome that often leaves exact-score markets muted.[4]

For traders, the main catalysts are official team-sheet news, late injury updates, and any change to kick-off status or venue timing before settlement. FIFA listed the match as a 19:00 kick-off in Los Angeles, and the market remains open only until the game is completed, so any postponement would extend the resolution window rather than force an early settlement.[6] In practice, exact-score pricing on a 0-100% scale tends to move most when line-ups confirm whether a favourite is likely to play conservatively or aggressively, because that affects the chance of a 1-goal, 2-goal or 3+ goal margin.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.
