Iran vs Usa
Iran defeated Wales to recover from a devastating loss to England. They are currently second in the standings before kickoff and, should they win, will advance immediately to the round of 16 for the first time in their history—possibly even as group champions, should England lose to Wales. Iran might also be able to advance with a draw, but only if Wales loses.
Given that the American team is made up of players who are based at European clubs and several of whom have also played in the Champions League, the World Cup hasn’t been particularly impressive for the Americans.
Even though they haven’t triumphed since crushing the Caribbean country of Grenada in June, escaping defeat versus England was a respectable result, and like Iran, they at least have control over their own fate. If they win, they advance, but if they draw, they are out because Iran has a point advantage.

Between the first two games, Gregg Berhalter didn’t make much changes to his lineup, keeping the same back four and midfield. The only adjustment was Haji Wright replacing Josh Sargent for the England match. The United States currently lacks sufficient attacking penetration. Giovanni Reyna’s exclusion as a starting has been a curious affair.
After an injury-plagued start to his club season with Bayer Leverkusen, star striker Sardar Azmoun has only played 81 minutes in Iran’s first two games at this World Cup. Due to receiving two yellow cards thus far, Alireza Jahanbakhsh is suspended, while Roozbeh Cheshmi is vying for the starting position after scoring against Wales.

Iran’s performance against Wales were really exceptional considering the attacks they made on the counter and a little bit of help they had when Wales were reduced to 10 men. USA also showed some intent of how serious they re for a qualification spot against England, the predicted scoreline should remain 2-2 at the end of the match.
