USA v Iran World Cup Group B Betting Guide

This is the final round of matches in Group B where USA play Iran while simultaneously, England will be playing Wales to determine which two teams qualify for the knockout stages. With USA having a world ranking of 14 and Iran 23, there might not be much to separate the teams and this could make for a massively entertaining match if one needs to beat the other. The game will be played at the Al-Thumama stadium 12km south of Doha on 29 November 2022.

Route to the World Cup

USA

The Yanks took the final World Cup CONCACAF qualification place from the third-round group stage by finishing third place on goal difference. Despite losing their last World Cup qualification match away to Costa Rica 2 – 0 on March 20th 2022, they managed to reach Qatar on goal difference having won 7 and drawn 4 of their 14 games. Since then, USA has played two friendly matches beating Morocco 3 – 0 and drawing a game played against Uruguay 0 – 0 in June. Two further competitive matches took place in the CONCACAF Nations League A as they beat Granada 5 – 0 in Austin Texas and then drew 1 – 1 away to El Salvador. In the lead up to the World Cup finals, USA has two further friendly games to play that are worth keeping tabs on. In September, they are due to play Japan and Saudi Arabia, which should give some insight into their form.

Iran

It’s fair to say that Iran has been a form team since the appointment of their Croatian head coach Dragan Skočić in 2020. During the AFC 2022 world cup qualification Iran played a total of 18 games, winning 14, drawing 1 while losing only 3 matches. Quite the form to take some note about as they have risen in the World rankings to 23rd. To put this in perspective, Iran was ranked 33rd in the rankings two years ago. Their steady climb up the rankings and qualifying to play in the World Cup finals for the third successive time, proves Iran is a footballing nation that is steadily improving and on the up. It is fair to say they have kept themselves under the radar, so the question is, might this be a team to cause an upset at the 2022 World Cup?
