Kyrgyzstan vs Iran Prediction: Iran are table toppers

Kyrgyzstan will welcome Iran at Spartak Stadium Kyrgyzstan in Game Week 6 of the FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifiers. Iran are table toppers in their group. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

After a victory in the group stage against North Korea on October 15, Kyrgyzstan had a disastrous game against UAE: the winners did not face much opposition during the entire game. Lisitsyn's team did not manage to create many scoring chances against UAE, so the level of its defense is extremely low. Currently, after conceding 10 goals, Kyrgyzstan holds positions of one of the worst defensive teams in the AFC World Cup qualifying groups. Though Iran has just won, the White Falcons couldn't regain a winning course in their last four matches, winning only one of the last seven games.

Currently, the team of Kyrgyzstan can't boast strong home record since they gained two wins, had two draws, and suffered two losses in their last six matches at Dolen Omurzakov Stadium.

Tokotaev; Zarypbekov, Kozubaev, Kichin; Zhyrgalbek, Abdurakhmanov, Shukurov, Kenzhebaev; Merk, Alykulov, Kojo.

Confidence should be the way Iran enter Tuesday's game against North Korea for they held on to their win after going down to 10 men early in the match. The team was able to squeeze out a 3-2 victory despite the disadvantage. Manager Amir Ghalenoei knew that it did not depend on his team but on luck of the game, for football did not punish their mistakes. Iran have been impressive in the AFC World Cup qualifiers so far, netting nine times and conceding only three in five games. On offense, they are fourth, while defensively, they sit joint second among the teams remaining in the qualifiers. Iran have been in very good shape, with seven wins and two draws from their last nine matches. They have won or advanced from 23 of their last 27 games. Also, with the travelling record, they won 12 of their last 14 matches, two of which were draws.

Beiranvand; Yousefi, Kanaani, Nemati, Mohammadi; Karimi, Ezatolahi; Jahanbakhsh, Taremi, Ghayedi; Azmoun.

A pretty uncertain form from Kyrgyzstan at home, and a very poor display overall, makes Iran more likely than not to register a win. With or without the absence of key players, the visitors do look strong favorites to pocket all three points and emerge victorious on the night.
