THE PREDICTION
Iran’s late run in the second round of qualification meant they avoided the humiliation of being knocked out a such an early stage. Their four matches in the June round of internationals saw them score 17 goals and concede just one including an impressive 1-0 win over Iraq in their final match. They come up against a Syria side that have edged closer to World Cup qualification in recent seasons. The Syrians did fall to a fairly embarrassing defeat away to China in June in their final group match, albeit Syria made several changes for that match. This is likely to be a fairly tight and cagey, low-scoring encounter but Iran will come into it as the slight favourites.
