Iran vs Uzbekistan prediction and betting tips on March 25, 2025
Game Prediction
In the 8th round of the Asian World Cup qualifiers, on March 25, 2025, a match will be held between the national teams of Iran and Uzbekistan. Hosting its most determined challenger, the group leader has a great chance to virtually secure first place in the group.
Our Prediction for the Iran vs Uzbekistan Match
Iran frequently attends World Cups. Last year, they reached the semifinals of the Asian Cup, ultimately losing 2-3 to Qatar— the host country and reigning (and future) champion. The Uzbeks were knocked out by the same opponent but in the quarter-finals, resolved only in a post-match penalty shootout.
In the current qualifying round, Taremi and company dropped points only twice in 2024, when they failed to score against Uzbekistan, ending both matches 0-0. However, they won the remaining fixtures, allowing them to lead the group. Kapadze's men have also lost 2-3 in Qatar.
Last week, the Iranians played at home against the UAE. By scoring at the end of the first and middle of the second half, they secured a confident victory. Meanwhile, the current visitors played against their neighbors, the Kyrgyz. There, the visitors were quickly reduced to ten men, and unsurprisingly, they were defeated despite Shomurodov's missed penalty.
