Match facts

Iran

  • Iran are winless in seven World Cup meetings against European sides (D1 L6), with that draw coming against Scotland in 1978.
  • Current Iran national coach Carlos Queiroz had two spells managing Portugal during 1991-1993 and 2008-2010. He took charge during the 2010 World Cup, overseeing their biggest ever victory in the competition (7-0 vs North Korea).
  • A win against Portugal will guarantee that Iran are in the World Cup knockout stages for the first time in their history – failing to make it out of the group in each of their four World Cup appearances.

Portugal

  • This is Iran and Portugal’s second encounter at the World Cup after 2006. Portugal won 2-0 thanks to goals from Deco and Cristiano Ronaldo – it was Ronaldo’s first ever goal in the tournament.
  • Portugal have won three of their four World Cup games against Asian opposition, losing against host nation South Korea in 2002.
  • Portugal’s 1-0 win over Morocco last time out was their first World Cup clean sheet since a goalless draw with Brazil in 2010, ending a run of five matches without a shutout.

Predictions

The statistics is heavily on Portugal’s side as the European champions have not lost a single clash against the non-European opposition since 2002 at the World Cup. They’ve won six and drawn three ever since, a streak which includes the aforementioned 2-0 victory over Iran in 2006.

Nevertheless, it will be anything but a one-way street for Fernando Santos’ men who are about to take on highly-motivated opposition who proved to have what it takes to stay competitive against the world-class outfits on Monday against Spain.

Final Score – 0 : 1
