Iran has 7 points from 3 matches in the final phase of the World Cup 2026 qualifiers and once again shows why it is considered one of the strongest in Asia. This time they are hosting Qatar.
The guests will have to look for points
The champion of the Asian Cup did not start well, after winning only one point from the first two matches, but a few days ago, Tintin Martinez's team finally relaxed against Kyrgyzstan. Now the opponent is more serious and a much more defensive approach will be needed. The Iranians have kept 3 consecutive clean sheets, but have only scored twice themselves. Qatar's matches have a completely different profile, but their opponents were not of Iran's class, so we can't take them as a very representative sample.
Bet on under 3.5 goals and +1.5 AH. Guest Handicap
I expect a very tight match in Tehran, which may be decided by just one goal.
