Wales v Iran betting predictions

Only recently the Welsh squad started to qualify on a constant basis for World Cup and Euro tournaments. Before 2022, they participated only in the 1958 World Cup, where they even made it to the quarterfinals. It is a bit better in European Championship record books as in 2016 they reached the semifinals and got bronze medals. In fact, Welsh players generally got better in the late 2010s. Most of them started to play in higher English Club competitions such as Championship and English Premier League. They play in mostly EPL teams such as Leicester, Forest, and Bournemouth, while the captain of the squad Gareth Bale plays in Los Angeles FC.

Since the 1998 World Cup in France, Iran has almost constantly participated in the tournament, missing out on only two occasions out of seven. It is also the second time they have the USA as an opponent. Famously, in 1998 Iran beat the USA in a highly anticipated game due to the political climate at the time. The current Iranian squad consists of players mostly playing in the local championship – Iran Pro-league. Some of them belong to clubs from Greece, Turkey, and Qatar. Their main striker Azmun plays for Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

Following online betting sites in Qatar, the game is a great chance for both teams, especially Wales, to earn points for fighting the USA squad for the other spot to the 1/8 finals, considering that England is highly likely to take the first place in Group B. Wales has one of the best middle-tier teams in the tournament, so does Iran. Interestingly enough, the teams go hand-in-hand on the FIFA rankings, where Wales is 19th and Iran is 20th.

Betting odds

Considering the strong sides of both teams, as well as Wales v Iran betting predictions mentioned above, 22Bet Sportsbook offers the next odds on the upcoming match. The game is scheduled to take place on November 25.
