Wales fought hard to pull back a 1-1 draw against a strong USA side on Monday night. A penalty from legend, Gareth Bale, was enough to rescue a point after a dire first half performance. Now, Rob Page's men will be looking for a confident display to take all three points against Iran and keep their dreams of a World Cup 2022 knockout round appearance in reach.
Iran were comfortably beaten by an England side with one eye already on the latter stages, but showed enough character to warrant contention. Porto striker Mehdi Taremi bagged two goals, and has proven himself a threat that Wales will need to deal with if they are to remain in control of their own World Cup destiny.
I'm predicting a fairly end-to-end affair, though I think Wales should have enough about them to see off the threat of Iran. 2-1.
