Analysis
Iran is coming into this match playing in good form in their recent matches. They have won their last 3 straight matches with only 1 goal allowed in that span and their attack has been on fire in these with 10 goals scored in those 3 matches. They were also very good in their qualifying group with their only blemishes being a loss to Qatar and draws against Uzbekistan. They are going up against a New Zealand side that has not been in good form recently. They have lost their last 2 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 matches and one of those was a 4-0 loss to Haiti. Their attack has been awful in these as they have gone scoreless in each of their last 2 as well as 4 of their last 5 matches and their defense has not been good either, allowing 2+ goals in 4 of their last 6 matches. New Zealand does not have a lot of quality on their side and they are one of the worst teams in this competition. Iran has a good defense that will keep New Zealand out of their net and Iran has the quality in their attack to break down this defense. This is also a tougher group and this will be Iran's best chance to advance out of the group, so they will be pushing for the win here. Iran will win this match and collect all 3 points here.
