THE PREDICTION
These two faced off in a couple of very competitive second round encounter’s in the AFC’s 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign. Iraq had a surprising lead over Iran in that group stage until the last couple of matches and Iran eventually finished a point above their rivals. In the third round, though, Iran have cruised to the top of their group with Iraq remaining winless in their six matches so far. Fresh off the back of key man and star striker Sardar Azmoun signing a pre-contract with Bayer Leverkusen, the home team will come into this as the comfortable favourites - and they will confirm qualification for Qatar 2022 if they win this one.
