Lebanon and Iran conclude their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaigns with a meeting at the Imam Reza Stadium in Mashhad on Tuesday.
Both teams have little to play for heading into the final round of matches with their respective qualification fates all but sealed.
With the teams guaranteed a place in November’s World Cup, Iran fell 2-0 to South Korea at the Seoul World Cup International Stadium on Thursday.
Goals in both halves Son Heung Min and Kim Young-Gwon saw Dragan Skokic’s men leave empty-handed after a toothless display in the Korean capital.
As a result, the Persia Lions dropped to second place in Group A of the Asian qualifiers, one point below leaders South Korea.
The next step is a clash against an opposing team who are still looking for their first win in this match after six consecutive defeats dating back to 2000.
Unbeaten in home matches for over three years, the hosts on Tuesday are the big favourites to emerge victorious and crown what has been a successful qualifying journey.
Goals from Alaa Al-Dali, Mardik Mardikian and Mohamed Al Marmour in the opener put Ivan Hasek’s men to the sword
Cedars are three points ahead of the UAE in the race for a play-off place and would need results elsewhere to reach the next stage in June.
Having scored the fewest goals overall in the group, the hosts on Tuesday will need to go on the offensive to salvage their already faint hopes of a World Cup spot.
Shoja Khalilzadeh was dragged into the first half of Iran’s defeat against South Korea last time out, making him doubtful.
Aref Gholami He came on in place of Khalilzadeh in the aforementioned match and is expected to feature in the starting eleven if the latter is not fit to participate.
The attacking trio of Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Saman Ghoddos and Mehdi Taremi remain unavailable after testing positive for the coronavirus.
Lebanese Abba Assi had to come off with a minor injury at half-time in his country’s last participation and the 26-year-old could miss Tuesday’s match.
Iran are missing several key players at the top end of the pitch, but they should still have enough to fend off the Lebanese threat. We support the hosts to claim all three points at the final whistle.
