Egypt
WDWLDW
Egypt, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 1-3 WC triumph against New Zealand.
In that match, Egypt had 56% possession and 19 shots on goal with 7 on target. For Egypt, goals were scored by Ziko (58'), Mohamed Salah (67') and Trézéguet (82'). New Zealand had 11 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Finn Surman (15') was the scorer for New Zealand.
Their most recent results reveal that much respect should be given to the Egypt defence. Egypt have kept it tight, seeing the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their past 6 clashes standing at 4. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be continued into this game, though.
Iran
LWWWDD
Previously, Iran drew 0-0 in the WC tie with Belgium.
In that match, Iran had 30% possession and 7 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. For their opponents, Belgium had 23 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target.
Iran have fired home a total of 13 times throughout their most recent 6 matches. The number of goals that have been scored against them during those same matches equals 5.

Prediction
Our feeling is that Iran will have a tough ask to put one past this Egypt side who will likely get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.
We therefore see a good battle with a 1-0 winning margin for Egypt at the end of this game.
We’re expecting it to be that close.
