On Tuesday, November 29, a duel between Iran and the United States will take place at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium as part of the 3rd round of the World Cup.
The Iranian national team in the second round managed to rehabilitate itself in front of its fans for a crushing defeat from the British, having beaten the Wales team. This victory kept the team's chances of advancing to the playoffs, so the Iranians will approach the decisive match in good spirits.
In the first two matches, Carlos Queiroz's wards played very ambiguously, but they showed a great desire to go forward and play productively in attack. In the new match, the Iranian national team will be satisfied even with a draw, but it is unlikely that the team will play to keep the score.
USA
The US team has not yet lost at the World Cup in Qatar, but it has not won either - in two fights, the Americans played a draw, while showing a solid level of football. The match against the team of Iran will be decisive for the wards of Gregg Berhalter in the group stage, which will determine their future prospects.
The American team showed a disciplined game in the first two meetings, and the main problem for the United States was the poor implementation of created chances. In the third round match, the Americans are obliged to improve this component of the game, because only a winning result will allow them to advance to the next round of the tournament.
