England and Iran kick off their World Cup campaign, when they face off in the first round on Monday at Khalifa International Stadium.
As we are in the opening round of the World Cup group stage, both England and Iran face a battle to secure their first points of the group stage. According to Fifa England look into their fixture with Iran as number 5 in the world ranking. The visitors sit as number 20.
England are heavy favourites with the bookmakers to top their group. England have enough quality in their ranks to also reach for a final at the World Cup.
Iran arrive at the World Cup with mischief on their mind, but seeing them get beyond the group would indeed raise some eyebrows.
