Wales vs Iran Prediction
Wales Form
A single point is all Wales have to show from their last three games, where they came up short, losing 2-1 and 0-1 against Belgium and Poland respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation with a 1-1 against USA. Wales claimed a modest two wins from their previous 10 matches across all tournaments. They drew three of the games, whilst losing five.
Wales scored 11 goals, conceded 14 and fought their way to a clean sheet one time in their previous six matches.
Iran Form
Iran added four points to their collection in their last three matches, which began with a 1-1 draw with Senegal. A 1-0 win against Nicaragua followed, before a 6-2 defeat against England in their most recent match. Iran claimed five wins in their last 10 matches across all tournaments, while also drawing one along the way. They endured defeat in four of the games in this run.
Iran are currently not the most scoring team in the World Cup, as they only found the back of the net ten times in ten matches. This is an average of just one goal a game in which they conceded 13 times, an average of 1.3 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring five times.
Tournament Overview
It was a nice and quiet opening to the World Cup group stages Wales delivered. Getting away with a 1-1 draw in the opener against USA is good enough to build momentum. Poor Iran. They were left battered and bruised after opening their World Cup campaign by getting thrown under the bus by England. Are they able to avenge themselves, or have confidence taken too big a hit?
