Wales is currently ranked 19th in the world. Although Gareth Bale is currently playing in the American League, MLS, the Welsh team still has many players who have played in the five major leagues, and their overall strength is relatively strong.
In recent years, Wales has also frequently entered the finals of major competitions. Having reached the final of the last two European Championships, this time for the first time in 68 years Wales have once again qualified for the World Cup.
In the first match of the group stage, Wales and the United States drew 1-1. Star number one Bale scored the equalizing penalty. In order to open up opportunities to qualify for the last 16, Wales must win over Iran tonight.
Iran is currently ranked 20th in the world, only losing 1 level below Wales. But compared to Wales, Iran has more experience in participating in the World Cup. Qatar is the seventh competition Iran has participated in the World Cup.
However, due to their limited overall squad strength, Iran had never been out of the group stage in the previous seven competitions. In the group fight in Qatar, Iran lost 2-6 to England national team.
The strength and depth of Robert Page’s squad is slightly better than Iran. Wales clearly have the superstar ex-Real Madrid star Gareth Bale who can dictate the direction of the game.
Looking at the latest conditions, Iran basically has no ability to compete with European powers.
