Wales vs Iran Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup

 by Ioannis | in World Cup Prediction

It is match day two at Group B of the World Cup, with Wales facing off against Iran at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, in a pivotal game for both teams’ future in the competition. Wales are sitting joint-second with a point, while Iran are bottom after their defeat to England with zero points. Wales kicked off their first World Cup game after 64 years in pretty nervy fashion, yet mustered a resolute response in the second-half and rescued a point against the USA, courtesy of a thunderbolt penalty kick by talisman Gareth Bale. Iran were humbled by England in their opener, with their 6-2 demolition certainly being catastrophic in terms of team morale. Will they manage to gather themselves for a simply must-win game? The serious head injury of their first choice goalkeeper will surely make things tougher in light of an already crumbling Iran defence.

Wales - Iran: Form Analysis

The atmosphere at the Wales camp right now is one of reserved optimism. The character shown by the team in the second half was an important step going forward, while a victory against Iran will do them wonders in terms of qualifying for the next round. On paper however, the Welsh side’s form has left a lot to be desired. They are winless in their last six games, while they have now conceded in eleven of their last twelve. Moreover, their struggle to finish opponents off was evident once again on Monday night. They have now scored more than once in just one of their last nine encounters, while they have only beaten Belarus with a margin larger than a goal (5-1) in their last seventeen games. In simple analysis, one could argue that Iran’s game plan went out the window the moment talismanic goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand was forced off due to a head injury in the early stages of the first half. Iran proceeded to concede six goals and concede a heavy defeat, prompting several Iranian fans to boo their own players in a move that outraged head coach Carlos Queiroz. In terms of form, Iran have now won just three of their last eight games, keeping three clean sheets in the process. They have also lost three of their last four away games, conceding ten goals in the process.

Wales & Iran Squad Analysis

Who more suitable to rise to the occasion and score Wales’ first World Cup goal since 1958 than Gareth Bale? The talismanic winger put his name in Wales’ history and should be again the main man to trouble the Iranian defence. Besides his apparent influence, Kiefer Moore looked lively once subbed on adding an extra element of aerial threat in the Welsh attack, making it extremely likely for him to get the nod in this one. For Iran, the loss of first choice goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand will undoubtedly hurt both in terms of morale and in terms of defensive stability, with the Iranian side having kept five clean sheets in nine games with him under the goal posts. On a positive note, Mehdi Taremi proved sharp when needed against England, scoring both of his side’s consolation goals.

Our Wales vs Iran Prediction

Despite Wales not possessing a mighty form on their recent record, they will not find a more suitable opponent than Iran. Ordinarily tough to beat, the Iranian side are low on morale and a 6-2 drubbing is always hard to recover form. Although expected to struggle in front of goal, we expect the Welsh outfit to eventually find the breakthrough, with a bet on them to win being the smartest play in this encounter.

Wales vs Iran - Other Interesting Predictions

No Goal Before 35:00

Wales are slow starters, a trend also evident in their opener against the USA. Iran will aim to build a solid defensive base in the opening half of the game and then push on as the Welsh get more desperate. With that logic in mind, backing the lack of a quick goal is a great alternative pick.

Wales to win by exactly one goal

In what should be a tight game, only two of Wales’ last eight victories have come with a margin greater than a single goal. Backing the trend to continue here is another solid value bet.
