Iran vs USA Preview

Iran and the United States will face each other in the Group B match of the World Cup football popularly known as The Greatest Show on Earth. The two teams will meet in their last match in the group stage.

Iran is second in Group B with 1 win and 1 loss with 3 points while USA is in third position after drawing both of the two matches.

On paper, the four teams in Group B have a chance to secure the knockout stage. The team that wins this match will be guaranteed the last 16. But if the match is a draw, many equations will come forward. As Iran is second in the points table, if this match is drawn and England beat Wales, Iran will advance to the next round as group runners-up.

Iran, ranked 20th in the FIFA rankings, will face the USA, ranked 16th. The match is a tough test for both the teams.

Key Points of Iran vs USA Match

After a humiliating defeat against England in the first match, Iran turned around in the second match. Their performance against Wales was eye-catching. If they avoid defeat in this match, they will be sure of the last 16. Standing in front of a relatively easy equation, they will depend on Mehdi Tarem for the continuation of the previous matches. He has scored two goals in the tournament so far. Writing the score sheet in this match will make the equation easier for Iran.

On the other hand, if they win this match, the United States will get the ticket to the next round. Striker Weah’s lack of suitable partners has plagued them throughout the tournament. If they can cooperate in this match, the turn of the match can be turned. Chelsea star Christian Pulisic provided decent support for Wia against Wales. The combined efforts of the two have seen the team’s only goal in the World Cup so far. The United States will be watching this duo.
