THE PREDICTION
These are two of the three unbeaten teams in Group A of the third round of AFC 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification. The United Arab Emirates, coached by Bert van Maarwijk, have began their campaign with back-to-back draws whilst Iran have started with two wins. The Iranians struggled in the second round but have since turned their form around with their strongest players coming back into the squad. It is unusual for a team to go throughout this stage of qualifying in Asia with a 100% record so a draw, given the UAE’s home advantage, appears a likely outcome.
