England vs Iran Preview & Prediction
There are big expectations on this England World Cup campaign as they look to be entering another golden generation of attacking talent at their disposal. They will be looking to go one step further than their Euros campaign, which ended in an agonising loss in the final to Italy at Wembley Stadium. The Three Lions also reached the semi-final of the 2018 World Cup.
However, they aren’t in the greatest of form, being winless in their previous six fixtures (0-3-3). That run of form recently saw them get relegated in the UEFA Nations League. Although they were impressive in the World Cup qualifiers, conceding just three goals and scoring 39 in their 10 matches.
Elsewhere, Iran have had to deal with some off-field issues in the lead-up to this tournament surrounding the national federation criticising some of the players support of women’s rights. Whilst their head coach was only just recently appointed in September after losing his job failing to qualify with Egypt. But on the other hand, this is arguably their strongest squad ever heading into a World Cup.
Nevertheless, they do have an underdog status that they will relish and have the potential to knick some valuable points in a tough group. They managed to get four points in the previous World Cup, but just missed out on a knockout birth on goal difference. Iran finished comfortably on top in the third phase of qualifying.
VERDICT:
It looks destined to be a clash that the three lions dominate, to get their campaign off to winning ways. (Best Phil Foden over 1.5 shots odds $1.66 with bet365.)
