Iran vs USA Lineups, Head to Head and Score Prediction 2-0
Apart from being motivated by the political conflict between the two countries, Iran vs. the US will also be hot if you remember how crucial the match will be. For Iran and the US, losing is not an option.
Iran did start off with a bitter step. They lost 2-6 to England. Two of Iran's consolation goals in that match were scored by Mehdi Taremi. However, Iran rose in the second match by beating Wales 2-0 through injury time goals from Ramin Rezaeian and Rouzbeh Cheshmi. The win was not easy, but Iran was helped by a red card in the 86th minute which the referee gave to Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey.
However, Iran's achievements are still better than the US. With better player material, the US has only collected two points from two draws. After a 1-1 draw with Wales, in which one of their goals was scored by Timothy Weah, the US drew goalless with England in the second game.
Currently, England (4 points), Iran (3 points), US (2 points), and Wales (1 point) still have the same chance to qualify for the round of 16. Their last game in the group stage will be tight.
If they win, Iran will qualify for the round of 16. If it's a draw, Iran must hope Wales doesn't beat England in the other party. On the other hand, the US must win over Iran if it wants to move on to the next round.
