Wales vs Iran – Betting Analysis
Iran may find it challenging to score against this Wales team, who we believe should ultimately score and potentially hold a clean sheet as well. Therefore, we anticipate a very close game that Wales will win 1-0 after 90 minutes.
Wales will be viewed as the slight favorites for this match based on their performances earlier this week. We anticipate a tight, low-scoring tie in Al Rayyan, though Iran should benefit from having more time to recover and playing later in the day.
