Morocco vs Iran | Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds
Group B action at this summer’s World Cup gets underway when tournament minnows Morocco and Iran meet in Saint Petersburg. With just five places separating the duo in the FIFA world rankings, many are predicting a close encounter on the second day of the competition, with both teams likely to need a win here to be in with any chance of making it through to the knockout stages.
Match Preview
Morocco and Iran meet at the Krestovsky Stadium on day two of the World Cup, with both teams looking to kick-start their respective campaigns with a win. Managers Hervé Renard and Carlos Queiroz will try and gain a tactic advantage for their team ahead of kick-off, with the duo having low expectations after they were drawn alongside Portugal and Spain in Group B. There is little to separate the duo ahead of kick-off, meaning that there are still plenty of attractive markets worth checking out before the match. For those still unsure of who to back, be sure to check out our top betting tip below. However, let’s first take a closer look at the two teams, starting with Egypt.
Morocco Form
Manager Renard has got Morocco firing again, with his side having qualified for the World Cup Finals in Russia without conceding a single goal, the only nation to do so. The African side are extremely hard working, with the likes of Karim El Ahmadi, Mehdi Benatia and Ajax playmaker Hakim Ziyech among their biggest talents. Elsewhere, Southampton winger Sofiane Boufal provides skill and speed on the flanks, with Morocco coming into the tournament off the back of friendly victories over both Serbia and Uzbekistan.
Iran Form
Former Manchester United assistant manager Carlos Queiroz has been in charge or the Iranian national team since 2011, with his side having qualified for the finals following a run of 12 clean sheets in a row. Iran became the first Asian side to qualify also, with their counter-attacking style making them difficult to beat. Despite not having any standout players in their playing squad, both Sardar Azmoun and Saman Ghoddos are names to keep an eye on.
Head to Head
The two teams have never before met in either a competitive or friendly fixture, meaning that no conclusions can be made when it comes to their head-to-head record.
Morocco vs Iran Prediction
There is little to separate the duo ahead of kick-off, however their experience at World Cup Finals in the past means that it comes as little surprise that it is Morocco who are the favourites for victory with the major online bookmakers.
