Iran

WWWWDL

Iran will be hoping to bounce back here after the 1-0 WC Qualifiers - Asia losing effort in their last game against Qatar.

In that match, Iran had 48% possession and 6 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. At the other end, Qatar had 6 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Miguel (41') scored for Qatar.

It’s been seldom in recent times that Iran have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Iran have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 8 goals on the way.

Korea DPR

LWDLLD

In the game prior to this, Korea DPR drew 2-2 in the WC Qualifiers - Asia tie with Kyrgyzstan.

Gulzhigit Alykulov (57') scored for Kyrgyzstan.

The stats don’t lie, and Korea DPR have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 11 goals in all. In defence, Korea DPR can certainly do much better. Such a trend might not be continued here, of course.

↔️ Head to head

The previous league game between these sides was WC Qualifiers - Asia match day 5 on 14/11/2024 when it ended Korea DPR 2-3 Iran.

That time, Korea DPR managed 51% possession and 17 shots at goal with 4 of them on target.

On the other side, Iran got 19 shots at goal with 13 on target. Mohammad Mohebi (41', 45') and Mehdi Taremi (56' Own goal) scored.

⚡ Prediction

We’re thinking that Iran will, in all likelihood, see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

At the other end, Korea DPR are also probably going to find it difficult getting goals but we can see them pulling one back during this clash, too.

We’re therefore anticipating a pretty comfortable 3-1 margin for Iran at the end of the 90 minutes.
