It’s the final matchday in the group stage and this time out Group B is wide open as all 4 teams can qualify for the knockout rounds and any team can be knocked out too. With that in perspective, Iran would face their group rivals the USA at Al Thumama Stadium.

Now coming into this game both these teams are separated by only 1 point as Iran are in the second position with 3 points and the Americans are third with 2 points. Hence, the Iranis do know that a draw will give them a huge chance to qualify, provided that England beat Wales, but for USA they have no choice but to beat Iran in order to qualify for the knockouts.

Iran are coming into this game by beating Wales and that is courtesy of a last-minute winner in added time by Cheshmi. The Asian side could take inspiration from other Asian teams like Japan and Saudi Arabia who produced shocking results by defeating Germany and Argentina respectively. However, beating Berhalters men won’t be easy for them as they are unbeaten in the World Cup by securing two consecutive draws and apart from the results, they managed to keep a clean sheet against a sensational attack of England who scored 6 goals against Iran. Hence, this encounter would be very interesting to watch.
