Wales preview | 1 point – 2nd place
The European team arrives to this Wales vs Iran game after an agonizing draw in the last match against the United States. Rob Page’s team had hopes of starting its debut with a victory, but those got crashed after facing an aggressive American team that possessed the ball 59% of the time. In the 36th minute, Timothy Weah scored a goal thanks to a through pass from the immovable Christian Pulisic.
Although it seemed that the chances were over, captain Gareth Bale, one of the great figures of the match, took advantage of his experience and caused a penalty that he himself converted in the 82nd minute. In this way, Wales is placed in the second position of its group, and the team hopes to get its first victory in this new game. The Dragons have now gone six consecutive games without a win.
Possible Wales lineup (3-5-2): Wayne Hennessey; Chris Mepham, Joe Rodon, Ben Davies; Connor Roberts, Harry Wilson, Ethan Ampadu, Aaron Ramsey, Neco Williams; Gareth Bale and Daniel James.
Iran preview : 0 points – 4th place
Qatar’s sun did not smile on the Iranian team on the first matchday. The team coached by Carlos Queiroz lost 6-2 to England in a very peculiar match. During the anthems, the Iranians did not sing in support of the protests taking place in their country; the English, likewise, spoke out against discrimination.
In the first few minutes, the starting goalkeeper had to be substituted, and from then on, the English goals began. Three English goals went in in less than 15 minutes. In the second half, Mehdi Taremi scored two goals, one from the penalty spot, to reduce difference between the two teams. However, the game ended 6-2.
With this result, the Arabian team is at the bottom of Group B, and it hopes to achieve the victory in this Wales vs Iran game with the help of Taremi, who so far is the scorer of the team.
Possible Iran lineup (5-4-1): Seyed Hossein Hosseini; Sadegh Moharrami, Majid Hosseini, Roozbeh Cheshmi, Milad Mohammadi; Ali Karimi, Ehsan Hajsafi, Ali Gholizadeh, Ahmad Noorollahi; Morteza Pouraliganji and Mehdi Taremi.
JefeBet Prediction
For this first Group B clash between Wales vs Iran we believe that it will be the Welsh who will win. Neither of the two teams won on the first day, however, Wales showed much more soccer and possibilities against the United States.
Gareth Bale’s experience and leadership will be a key for the Dragons, a team that hopes to break a new record in this World Cup by surpassing their best performance so far, which was fifth place in Sweden 1958.
Prediction: Wales win 2-1.
