The Qatar 2022 World Cup will add more pressure on Matchday 2 to those teams who haven’t won yet. That’s what happened to Wales and Iran, so their battle at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium will be key. Check out the status of these squads, the match information, predictions, odds, storylines, and how to watch this game.

Wales started with their most important game in the tournament. They didn’t begin well, but they were able to rescue a tie that puts them into contention for a place in round of 16. That 1-1 draw vs the USA thanks to Gareth Bale’s goal was nice, although they must beat Iran if they want to advance in Qatar.
Iran instead had one of the worst performances of Matchday 1 regarding their result. For most teams losing against England is something likely to happen, though to be defeated 6-2 must have been tough for them. The best part for the Iranians is that now they will have two even games to try get at least one win.

Wales vs Iran: Storylines and Head-to-Head
The path to a qualification to round of 16 is never easy in this tournament. Especially if you didn’t get a victory on your first match. That’s exactly what happened to both teams, so they will be in need. Although being scheduled for the opening game of the day also means that a win will put pressure on the USA.
One interesting thing about these squads shows how even the contest could be. On October 6 it was published the last FIFA Ranking before the Qatar 2022 World Cup and they appear next to each other. For now, Wales are 19th while Iran are right behind at the 20th spot. These teams also haven’t played against each other yet.
