England vs Iran Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup

 by Joseph King | in World Cup Predictions

Group B in the 2022 World Cup kicks off with one of the tournament favorites in England taking on one of the tournament outsiders in Iran. England, competing in their 16th World Cup, will be hoping to go one step further after their fourth-place finish in 2018 and make the final for the first time since they were crowned champions in 1966. They’ll face an Iran side competing in their sixth World Cup who will be aiming to make it out of the group stages for the first time in their nation’s history. The heavily-favored England are presented with a golden opportunity to get an early three points on the board, but can the Three Lions overcome what will likely be a sturdy Iranian defense at the Khalifa International Stadium on Monday?

The oddsmakers' unsurprisingly have England as significant favorites to walk away with the three points in the Group B opener against Iran. Bettors can grab the Three Lions to win the match straight up at odds of 1.33 while backing Iran to cause the upset would net you hefty odds of 11.00. If you think the spoils might be shared in Monday’s clash then you can back the match to end in a draw at a price of 4.75. In terms of futures, England are once again expected to make waves at the tournament with their odds of 8/1 to lift the World Cup trophy ranking as the joint fourth best. The books clearly don’t expect much from this Iranian team, as you can back Team Melli to win the tournament at a massive 500/1 price.

England - Iran: Form Analysis

Despite being one of the tournament favorites, England enter this match on a dreadful run of form. It’s now been six matches without a win for Gareth Southgate’s men which equals their longest winless streak ever, last occurring in 1958. The barren stretch saw the Three Lions surprisingly relegated to League B of the UEFA Nations League after two defeats to Hungry and a loss to Italy saw them finish with an 0-3-3 record in their group. They’ll have to put that performance behind them if they are to make it out of a tricky Group B at the World Cup. 

Iran enter the World Cup opener after a run of 2-1-2 in their friendlies leading up to the tournament. They picked up an excellent 1-0 win against 14th ranked Uruguay and a 1-0 victory over Nicaragua, while drawing 1-1 against Senegal and losing 2-1 and 2-0 to Algeria and Tunisia, respectively.

England & Iran Squad Analysis

England have been hit with a few injuries, particularly in the fullback position where they will be without the industrious Reece James on the right as well as Ben Chilwell on the left. Kyle Walker, who sometimes fills in at center back when England opt for a back three, is also a fitness concern. Finally, Leicester’s James Maddison missed training earlier in the week and is unlikely to feature as well as Kalvin Phillips, who has only managed four appearances for Manchester City since his £45 million summer move, also unlikely to suit up for this match. 

Iran were given a huge boost with the news that their star striker, and likely best player in the squad, Sardar Azmoun is closing in on a return despite suffering a torn hamstring and not playing for his club side Bayer Leverkusen since October. The 27-year-old might not be rushed back for this match, especially with the competent Mehdi Taremi of FC Porto waiting in the wings. The other notable absence for Iran is Omid Ebrahimi, who missed out on the tournament due to a groin injury.

Our England vs Iran Prediction

We’re going to back under 2.5 goals to be scored as our bet for this one. England are simply not playing well enough at the moment to expect them to score any more than one or two goals against this defensively-minded Iran side. The Three Lions and manager Gareth Southgate have faced a lot of criticism over the team’s slow, and sometimes dull, approach and final-third play which could very well spill over into this tournament. Expect England to grab a goal and then look to conserve their lead as they desperately seek to put an end to their winless run. Iran are expected to sit back and look to hit England on the break but will likely see very few chances in this match. This match looks set for a 1-0 or 2-0 victory for the English as they should get their 2022 World Cup campaign off to a winning start.

England vs Iran - Other Interesting Predictions

England to win to nil

Odds 1.8
There’s too much talent in this England squad for the Three Lions to be held scoreless here. Iran will be feeding off scraps in this match with chances likely far and few between, especially if star striker Sardar Azmoun misses out. England should be able to edge this one while keeping a clean sheet.

England to win + under 3.5 goals

Odds 1.75
This is a great spot for a combo bet which would cover everything from a 1-0 England win to 3-0 and even 2-1 if Iran do manage to find the scoresheet.
