Our Prediction for Iran vs Kyrgyzstan
The "Princes of Persia" are one of the powerhouses of Asian football, having participated in six World Cups. They have featured in the last three tournaments, though they have yet to advance to the knockout stages, despite playing well. This was the case even in Qatar two years ago, where they managed one win but suffered two losses. Meanwhile, the "White Falcons" have only made their mark in regional tournaments and debuted in the Asian Cup as recently as 2019.
This year has been a breakthrough for Kyrgyzstan. In the Asian Cup in Qatar, they managed only one point, drawing with Oman in the final round after losses to Thailand and Saudi Arabia. However, the team then defeated Taiwan twice and drew 1-1 with their direct rivals, Oman and Malaysia. This allowed them to surpass Malaysia and advance to the decisive round of World Cup qualification.
In Qatar, Taremi and his teammates reached the semifinals, where they lost 2-3 to the tournament hosts. In the World Cup qualifiers, Iran, along with Uzbekistan, secured 14 points each, while the two bottom teams, Hong Kong and Turkmenistan, managed only two points each.
