Iran are ranked 21st in the latest FIFA world rankings and that's compared to the 91st position their opponents hold. They are only four places below the highest ranked Asian country Japan who they could meet in the quarter finals. The Iranians first played in the Asian Cup finals in 1968 and won that year and successfully defended it twice. They have reached the last four six times since then but never the final. This Asian Cup began with them in Group C and they were in dominant form winning all three of their games. Palestine were beaten 4-1 in their opening game and that was followed by a 1-0 win over Hong Kong and a 2-1 victory against the United Arab Emirates. Iran won the group by five points. They are unbeaten in their last 16 games winning the last five of them and scoring 12 goals in the last four.

Syria had nowhere near such a smooth passage into the knockout stages. They had to rely on being one of the best third placed sides to get out of an Asian Cup group for the first time. Syria started off Group B with a goalless draw against Uzbekistan. Then they were beaten 1-0 by Australia but a 1-0 victory over India took them into the last 16. That win ended a run of five games without a victory. It was also their first win in the Asian Cup finals since 2011 ending a run of five losses and two draws.
