Iran v Wales World Cup Group B Betting Guide

The second round of fixtures in Group B sees Iran face Wales on 25 November 2022 at the Ahmed bin Ali stadium that can hold a capacity crowd of 50,000. Whether or not all the tickets will be sold for this match remains to be seen, however the Iranians may well have an advantage as they are better acclimatised to the Middle Easter heat. The two teams have only ever played each other once in an international friendly in 1978 when Wales won the game 1 – 0. This could be a very close contest as the World rankings currently place Wales in 19th and Iran in 23rd.

Route to the World Cup

Iran

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be the 7th time Iran has qualified to play in the tournament. The first time they qualified was in the 1978 World Cup held in Argentina. Since then, Iran has qualified for five of the last seven World Cups and 2022 will be their third appearance in a row. In all the times Iran has qualified they have never progressed beyond the group stage. To qualify for the World Cup in Qatar, Iran topped both their groups in the second and third rounds of the AFC World Cup qualification. They are the highest ranked team from the AFC region.

Wales

For a small relatively small sized country with a population of three million people they are always proud of their sporting achievements. You could probably hear the Welsh singing in Qatar when they qualified for the 2022 World Cup finals in Cardiff. Wales has qualified for the World Cup finals for only the second time in their history. The last time Wales qualified was in the 1958 World Cup held in Sweden. Back then Wales finished level with Hungary in the group stage on points remaining unbeaten, drawing all three games against the hosts Sweden, Hungary and Mexico. To qualify for the knockout stages, they had to play Hungary in a play-off which they won 2 – 1. They met Brazil in the quarter-finals and were sent packing, losing 1 – 0. The group fixtures in Qatar include England, USA and Iran and they will be psyched up to make the knockout stages for a second time.
