Iran vs USA: Top Free Betting Tips

One of the interesting duels of Group B will be played between Iran and USA in the third round of the World Cup at Al Thumama Stadium. Team Melli had undefeated games before the tournament but the Yanks followed a winless sequence.

Match Result Prediction: Iran to Win

The USA played three winless games in a row before the World Cup and collected only one victory in the five outings. Iran has also been inconsistent but they are better than the Yanks, winning two of the previous four. The USA are also without a victory in the last seven outings away from home. Moreover, Team Melli has a favourable record in the visiting duels, winning three of the last five. Both teams played well in the matches to date despite the fact that Iran lost their game against England. 

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Iran has been involved in the low-scoring totals mostly in the recent games and rattled the net only five times in the previous five outings. But the USA has been even worse in this case, having scored only one goal in the previous three duels. Furthermore, the Yanks hit the target only once in the previous four away outings before the World Cup. The only H2H between the teams in 1998 went over 2.5 goals but current stats point out a different situation for this game. Both teams have been struggling with scoring goals and those that Iran scored definitely came with a huge dose of luck and due to circumstances such as a red card for Wales and a penalty given against England. 

Correct Score Prediction: 1-0 to Iran

Since the USA has failed to score in four of the previous five visits, we don’t expect any positive outcome from them in this game as well. The Yanks were also goalless in the last two attempts. On the contrary, Iran succeeded to score in four of the previous five attempts, keeping two clean sheets as well. However, Team Melli has also been unable to score more than once in four of them. So our predicted scoreline for this game would be 1-0 at the end.

Iran vs USA: Form, Recent Games, and News

Iran Preview

The Iranian national team was able to rehabilitate itself after the defeat of the British (2:6) and defeated Wales with a score of 2:0. Before the last round, the Iranians are in 2nd place in quartet B, the gap from the 3rd and 4th spots is 1 and 2 points, respectively. Given the poor performance of Wales in this tournament, the victory of the Welsh against England is unlikely. This means that Iran simply needs to reach a draw to qualify ahead.

USA Preview

The Americans so far leave mixed impressions. The team in the last two rounds shared points with both rivals, but in both matches, they had chances to win. It can be seen that the US team has an excellent line-up, which, for the most part, lacks the experience of playing in major tournaments. And the upcoming meeting will be the final challenge for the American team. The “excellent” outcome from it is a victory over the Iranians, and any other result will be a failure.
