4.15Tip and bets
The hosts have a very solid squad for Asia and have proven their strength in recent selection matches. In face-to-face confrontations, the UAE cannot yet impose resistance on such a powerful opponent - the last five matches ended in favor of Iran. We think that even now the victory will remain with the hosts.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1) for Iran in 1.85
Bet on the total
The hosts regularly give out productive matches - in the last three matches of 2024, the hosts scored a total of 10 goals. The UAE's defense has not been reliable lately, so it is unlikely that the guests will be able to hold off the attacking onslaught of the opponent. We suggest betting on a large number of goal takings.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.88
Betting on corners
Most likely, the hosts will have the initiative in this match, so we expect Iran to have an advantage in corner kicks.
Our betting tip is an Asian head start (-2.5) on Iran's corners in 1.85
