In the third round, group B meets us with a confrontation between Iran and the United States. A fundamental meeting for both teams, which will decide the fate of the teams at the World Cup 2022. The team that wins this match guarantees itself access to the playoffs. Football World Cup 2022 teams are fairly even. I wonder who will be able to conquer Qatar and get out of the group.
This is how the World Cup standings in Group B looks like at the moment:
| 1 | England | 4 |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Iran | 3 |
| 3 | USA | 2 |
| 4 | Wales | 1 |
How the matches of the second round in group B ended
In the second round, the matches turned out to be quite interesting. Until the end, it was not clear how both confrontations would end. And that’s why everyone loves the World Cup: for unpredictable outcomes.
The first match that we will consider is the confrontation between England and the USA. The teams had another great match at the FIfa World Cup. No one wanted to concede in this fundamental battle, and until the last minute it was absolutely not clear who would win after all. The England team on paper looks much stronger than the United States, but despite this, the teams played a modest 0-0 draw.
The match between Iran and Wales, on the contrary, turned out to be scoring and just somehow incredible. Almost until the 90th minute, the teams exchanged chances, but they did not manage to hit each other’s goal. But Group B will not leave us without surprises. Literally 5 minutes before the end of the match, the Iranian team scored with a wonderful long-range shot. And it definitely shook the Welsh, because the first goal flew another one. Is it unexpected? Not really, the Wales team looks very weak and why they went to Qatar is unclear.
Forecast World Cup: Iran - USA. Likely outcomes and analytics
Obviously, in this match the teams will fight to the last. For each of the teams, a victory will mean a concrete exit to the playoffs. Based on this, the following outcomes can be distinguished:
-
both will score - yes: of course we expect at least one goal from each of the teams. This is indicated to us by the transcendent motivation, the integrity of the match and its importance. Who in the end will be one step closer to the playoffs, no one knows, but the teams will definitely not leave us without goals.
-
total JK: when we talk about the match for qualifying from the group at the Fifa World Cup, we can definitely expect a rather tough fight. Especially if one of the teams will dry the game and it will be necessary to stop the opponent with fouls.
