Iran – New Zealand Prediction

Iran face New Zealand in an opener between a seasoned Asian heavyweight and an inconsistent All Whites side. Iran's solidity meets New Zealand's leaky form.

Iran organised and sharp

Amir Ghalenoei's side arrive in decent shape — a 3-1 over Gambia, a 5-0 of Costa Rica, a 1-2 loss to Nigeria and goalless draws with Uzbekistan and Cape Verde — around 1.8 scored and 0.8 conceded. Sardar Azmoun was left out, but Mehdi Taremi leads with Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Mehdi Ghayedi in support.

New Zealand up and down

Wildly inconsistent — a 4-1 over England, a 0-4 to Haiti, a 4-1 of Chile, a 0-2 to Finland and a 0-2 to Ecuador — around 1.8 scored and a porous 2.6 conceded. Chris Wood is fit and leads the line, with Marko Stamenic in midfield and Tommy Smith at the back, but the defence is the obvious worry.

Control versus chaos

Iran are unbeaten in the few prior meetings. The Iran versus New Zealand prediction favours Iran's structure against a fragile New Zealand defence, with the Iranians likely to shape the contest.
