Iran and England kick off their World Cup on Monday with a key group game at Khalifa Internation Stadium in Qatar.
England
For England, the hope is always a World Cup title, and they believe that this year they could have the team to get it done. The last game for England came against Germany on September 26th, and that game ended in a 3-3 draw. England didn’t score their first goal until the 71st minute and added goals in the 75th and 83rd minutes. England only had 40 percent of the possession but eight shots on goal.
Kyle Walker should be back soon for England, but it doesn’t look like this game will be it. James Maddison is also dealing with an injury but it’s expected that he’s going to be able to play in this game.
England believes that they will win this group and anything short of picking up the three points in this game would be quite disappointing. England needs to push the numbers forward and really put pressure on the defense of Iran. They should feel comfortable pushing numbers forward and not having to worry about Iran’s counterattack.
Iran
For Iran there are a ton of questions surronding this team but in this game, they need to try and come away with at least a draw. Iran has never made it past the group stage in the World Cup, but they feel like this is the year they can make it happen.
Heading into the World Cup Iran has won two games and they played the other game to the draw. In the last game against Nicaragua on November 10th, it was Iran that was able to secure the win. It was Mehdi Torabi that scored the goal in the 15th minute. Omid Ebrahimi is dealing with a groin injury and has been left off the squad. Sardar Azmoun has been dealing with a calf injury heading into this game, and although he is on the team, it’s unclear if he’s going to be able to play in this game.
Ehsan Hajsafi will be making his 122nd appearance for the team and is the captain for this matchup. Saman Ghoddos is expected to start on the bench, but there is a chance that he could move into the starting line up here. Heading into the World Cup it was clear that Iran wasn’t an elite offensive team and if they want to find success in this game it’s going to need to be the defense that finds success. Iran isn’t going to be winning a game by scoring 2 or 3 goals, so they need to take a defensive shape and put pressure on the England offense.
England vs. Iran Prediction:
Iran is going to struggle with quality scoring chances here, and I don’t think they are going to even score a goal here. England should find the back of the net but they don’t have any value on the money line. Look for England to score only a goal or maybe two, but not any more than that. This game is going to finish with two goals or less, and the under is going to cash.
