Team Wales

Wales is tied for second in Group B with one point behind England. The Welsh tied the United States in their World Cup opener on an 82^nd-minute penalty kick by superstar Gareth Bale. The 33-year-old is already Wales’ all-time leading scorer, and he extended his record to 41 goals. He is the +165 favourite to be an anytime goalscorer here. “To go a goal behind against a good team like the US, we showed character, credit to the lads for coming back and getting a point,” Manager Rob Page said. “When we got the penalty we knew who was taking it, one million percent. “He’s never let us down has he? It’s all about Bale and rightly so.” Wales was completely outplayed in the first half but a different team after the break in part because Page made a change at intermission when he replaced the ineffective Dan James with the taller Kieffer Moore – who may start this match. The Welsh possessed the ball only 41 per cent of the time but had seven shots to the USA’s six.

Team Iran

The Iranians are last in Group B following an opening 6-2 loss to England, and they can essentially forget about advancing with another loss – they were never expected to make it through the group stage. Carlos Queiroz’s side had kept clean sheets in six of their previous nine matches before that rout. Mehdi Taremi, easily Iran’s best player, had both goals in the loss, coming in the 65^th minute and then on a penalty in extra time. He is +230 to be an anytime scorer in this match. Goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand collided with teammate Majid Hosseini early in the match. Beiranvand initially played on before being stretchered off in the 19th minute. He will not play in this match due to a concussion and broken nose.
