Betting on Iran
The Iranian team returns to action after their participation in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, a competition in which they lost 6-2 to England, defeated Wales 2-0 and lost 1-0 to the United States, all in Group B. Although they were not favored to advance, Iran’s performance was not bad on balance, and left a good image with a view to revalidating their qualification for the 2026 World Cup. Amir Ghalenoei took the reins of the team after the departure of Portugal’s Carlos Queiroz, thus completing his second stint with the national team, following his unsuccessful stint between 2006 and 2007.
Probable lineup (4-4-1-1): Alireza Beiranvand; Ramin Rezaeian, Majid Hosseini, Morteza Pouraliganji and Milad Mohammadi; Ali Gholizadeh, Saeid Ezatolahi, Ahmad Nourollahi and Ehsan Hajsafi; Mehdi Taremi; and Sardar Azmoun.
Betting on Russia
Russia’s last official match was on November 14, 2021, when it faced Croatia on matchday 10 of the qualifiers for the last World Cup. It was a 1-0 away defeat, and they have not played since then, thanks to the FIFA sanction imposed on the national team for the invasion of Ukraine.
A total of seven matches were cancelled, including qualifiers and the UEFA Nations League.Therefore, the match against Iran will be a measure to know how a team that has not been measured on the field for a long time and that will surely need time to find its game dynamics again.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Matvei Safonov; Vyacheslav Karavaev, Igor Divyeyev, Georgy Dzhikia and Fyodor Kudriashov; Daniil Fomin, Dmitry Barinov and Aleksandr Golovin; Aleksei Ionov, Fyodor Smolov and Zelimkhan Bakaev.
JefeBet Prediction
Recent Iran vs Russia history indicates that they drew in the last clash in October 2017, 1-1. The previous one was in February 2011, when the Asian team won 1-0. For this new clash, at JefeBet we believe that Iran will repeat with a comprehensive victory.
Prediction: Iran wins by 2-0.
