Iran vs Nigeria prediction

The Iranians head into this one with a bit to work out ahead of their visit to North America this summer. They have been drawn in a group that is reasonable for them to believe they can be successful in alongside Belgium, Egypt and New Zealand. 

Nigeria will not be at the tournament this summer but have been majorly improved since the appointment of Eric Chelle, who led them to the semi-finals of the CAF Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year.

Neutral territory should ensure the game is played in quite an open way with neither side sitting back and both teams scoring may well, therefore, be a good bet.

Iran vs Nigeria tip: Both teams to score
