Iran take on Syria in their opening fixture in the third round of group A as both these teams look to secure a place in next year’s 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The home side come into this game with immense confidence and quality compared to their counter-parts. They have been in such good form in the past as they have taken down the likes of Bahrain 3-0, Cambodia 10-0 and Iraq 1-0. In the process, they have not yet conceded a goal in those 3 games and have scored a total of 14 goals.
This demonstrates the quality that the Iranian team have on display and they are set to be clear favourites in this tie against the Syrians.
The away team come into this game on the back of a 3-1 loss against China in the second round of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup, but they have secured wins against Guam and Maldives in round 2 of the Asian qualifiers before they lost against China.
In their loss against China, Aias Aosman scored a goal in the 50th minute to level the game at 1-1, but the Chinese have displayed a much better attacking display and got past the Syrian defence. In that game, China had 13 shots on goal with 7 on target compared to Syria’s 7 shots on goal with just 2 on target.
