Iran

Recall that the Iranian team went to Qatar, where they looked good, given their status in this World Cup. Of course, the team could not get further than the group stage, but they fought against the United States, England, and Wales. First, Iran lost to England (2:6), then defeated Wales (2:0). Finally, the team bitterly failed to the United States in the decisive match for the playoffs (0:1). Since the Qatari tournament, Team Melli has not played a single friendly fixture.

Russia

Valeri Karpin decided not to call up the main strength of the national team and look more deeply into the youth. Thus, the friendly games against Iran and Iraq will involve players under 30. Given that the Russians drew with Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, they will have a tough time in Tehran. However, the Russians have nothing to lose, and they will try to impose their best soccer on the opponent.

Expert Betting Tips

The Russian team comes to the game with Iran as an outsider, which is entirely justified. For one thing, Iran looks noticeably better. They will have the same lineup as in the World Cup 2022. Second, the game will be held in Iran's capital, which will play a significant role in the final score.
