Kyrgyzstan vs Iran Prediction & Betting Tips (19 November)

This selection from Kyrgyzstan has never qualified for a World Cup. The dream is still alive for the locals who have 3 points but we should not delay in launching the machine with four points behind fourth place, held by Qatar, and which allows its defender to play the play-offs. Having had a difficult start in this 3rd round with three defeats in a row against Iran 1-0, Uzbekistan 2-3, and Qatar 3-1, Kyrgyzstan probably thought it would launch its qualifying campaign by beating Korea of the North in October 1-0, but this selection is so weak... Last week, return to reality for the locals of the day who more than logically bowed to the United Arab Emirates 3-0.

 Opposite is Iran, a nation subscribed to the World Cups since 2014 now with three successive participations but always the same redundant record: Elimination in the group stage. It's still nice to play in a World Cup as soon as the opportunity presents itself and that's what makes Iran a reference nation in Asian football. In these qualifiers, Taremi's partners do not disappoint by being undefeated after five days including four victories against Kyrgyzstan precisely 1-0, the United Arab Emirates 0-1, against the winner of the reigning Asian Cup, Qatar 4-1 and last week, in North Korea, thanks in particular to a hat-trick of assists from Mehdi Taremi 2-3. With 13 points on their record, the Iranians are in pole position to join the United States in 2026.

To reach the top of the international level, you need elements who play throughout the year in the big leagues. Which is unfortunately not the case for this selection from Kyrgyzstan. Authors of a goal each in these qualifiers, midfielders Shukurov and Abdurakhmanov are present for this gathering unlike Brauzman (coach's choice). The 26-year-old striker, Kojo (8 goals in the selection) is well operational and remains one of the main threats of this formation. As we have already praised in the paragraph on the state of form with his 3 cakes against North Korea, Taremi (Inter Milan, 51 goals in 90 selections) will no longer have praise in his favor. Let's talk about the Rostov striker, Mohebi (10 goals in 2 selections) who scored twice last week, and Ghayedi (9 pawns in the selection) who opened the fireworks in the first period.

The man with 88 selection caps, Azmoun (55 goals) will be operational like Jahanbakhsh (Heerenveen, 89 caps) who could celebrate his 90th participation in the selection jersey this afternoon. Excluded against North Korea after returning from the locker room, central defender Khalilezadeh (47 caps) will quite logically serve his suspension. To stay with the absences, let's mention the defender Hajsafi (142 caps), not called up since the Asian Cup in Qatar, the same for Daneshgar (2 caps), for Torabi (7 goals in 51 caps), or even for the players with an offensive vocation which are Ansarifard (30 pawns in 104 capes), and Asadi (10 selections). Injured, Moharrami (30 caps), and Hosseini (28 caps, Kayserispor) have not played for the national team since the Asian Cup as well.
