Wales vs Iran Prediction & Tips
This Friday at The Ahmed Bin Ali stadium in Al Rayyan, the teams of Wales and Iran will face each other in a game between teams that need to win to stay alive in their objectives of advancing to the final stage of the 2022 World Cup.
The team led by Rob Page can be said to have achieved a good result in their return to a World Cup after 64 years, when they faced the United States, a game that ended in a one-goal draw, after Gareth Bale equalized from the penalty spot.
Now, having shaken off that pressure, the Dragons are preparing to get their first victory of the competition when they face a needy Iran, and for that Page will apparently make some changes such as the entry of Keiffer More from the start, after his good start in the game against the United States, which was decisive to get the equalizer.
Wales is ranked 19th in the FIFA Ranking, has played only six games in world championships, winning one, drawing four and losing one game, all this in regulation time.
For their part, Carlos Queiroz’s team did not have a good time in their debut against England, a game in which they were already losing 4-0 in the 62nd minute. In the end the game ended with a clear 6-2, and the highlight was the brace of FC Porto striker Mehdi Taremi.
This result cut short Iran’s three-game unbeaten streak, in which they won two games, all of them friendly matches. But the issue is their irregularity in World Cup participations where the Princes of Persia have won only one of their last eleven games, with seven of them ending in defeats.
The big doubt for Queiroz is the presence of starting goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand, who was injured in the first minutes of the game against England. What is certain is that Taremi will continue to command the attack.
Iran is ranked 20th in the FIFA Ranking, and this is its sixth participation in World Cups, where it has not been able to go beyond the group stage. They have played 16 games, winning two, drawing four and losing ten, all in regulation time.
