Iran

Iran regularly qualifies for the World Cup, so it is now considered the main favorite to advance from the group.

The Princes of Persia beat Kyrgyzstan (1:0), the UAE (1:0), Qatar (4:1) and North Korea (3:2). Now the visitors hope to perform no less confidently in the second round.

1.55Tip and bets
Despite not the most outstanding results, Kyrgyzstan always fights to the end on its home field and constantly resists even the strongest opponents. For example, the team was twice in the lead in the match with Uzbekistan. Iran will probably have a hard time in Bishkek. You shouldn't expect a crushing victory from Iran here.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (+2) on Kyrgyzstan for 1.73
Bet on total
We believe that Kyrgyzstan will be able to defend itself well on its home field, and Iran does not often win crushing victories, especially away from home. The hosts will close in on defense and will only occasionally run out to counterattack, while the visitors will try to overcome the opponent defensive redoubts. We do not think that such a match will bring us a goal-scoring extravaganza.
Our prediction is under 2.5 goals for 2.30
Bet on corners
We believe that the game will be closed, which means that we can't expect many corners. The opponents are unlikely to reach the mark of nine corners.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners for 1.90
