It's obvious that punters' Wales vs Iran betting picks are largely affected by the first performances of these teams in Qatar. Wales has already one point after a 1-1 draw against the USA, while the Iranians swallowed a bitter pill in their heavy 2-6 defeat against England. Here we take a quick look at some of the markets and opportunities, alongside presenting a brief preview.

1. Wales vs Iran Preview

This important Group B qualifier will kick off today, at 1 pm local time in the Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, just 14 miles out of Doha. The ground has actually been rebuilt on the site of the previous ground, with most of the construction materials reused, and its impressive facade features intricate patterns, representing the culture of Qatar.

As the middle game for the teams in the group stages, this is a defining fixture for both of them. Any WC 2022 predictions are tricky, but because both teams need a win to still have chances to play in the round of 16, we are sure it will be an exciting match. Still, it's understandable why it's the Welsh who are seen as slight favourites to take it all from this fixture.

We won't just look at the England game and think it is going to be a walkover against Iran because England beat them 6-2. We won't get sucked into that. It will be a difficult game. We will give everything and so will they. - Gareth Bale, Daily Mail

Wales qualified through a delayed and emotional play-off against Ukraine but will fancy their chances here, although taking the Iranians lightly would be a big error. These two have never met before competitively, but Iran does have more WC tournament experience, appearing here for their 6th time, against just the two for the Welsh. The Wales vs Iran best prediction is to focus on the number of goals rather than picking a winner.

1.1 Wales vs Iran Team News & Probale Lineups

Daniel James and Harry Wilson seem to be the first names that Rob Page could go for while considering possible changes in the lineup. We still don't know whether Ethan Ampadu's muscle injury is serious or not. However, we believe that the Welsh team will once again come to the field in the best possible formation. With Gareth Bale up front, they will be looking for an early goal to get comfortable as fast as possible.

Wales: Hennessey - Roberts, Mepham, Rodon, Davies, N. Williams - Ramsey, Ampadu/Morrell - James, Moore, Bale

Iran: H. Hosseini - Moharrami, Pouraliganji, Cheshmi, M. Hosseini, Mohammadi - Jakanbakhsh, Noorollahi, Karimi, Gholizadeh - Taremi

Iran has to play without his first goalkeeper who needs to follow the concussion protocols. Thus, Hossein Hosseini is ready to replace him. The biggest question for Iran's manager is whether or not to put Azmoun in the starting lineup. Also, we could see some changes such as Ali Gholizadeh jumping into the starting eleven after a good performance against England.

1.2 Wales vs Iran Head-to-head Record

The teams have met only once and it was a long time ago. In 1978, Wales won 1-0 in a friendly match. Moreover, the Welsh team has never played against an Asian team in the World Cup as previously, Wales entered only one tournament, in 1958. On the other hand, Iran doesn't have a positive WC record against European teams with zero wins, two draws, and seven losses including the most recent 2-6 defeat to England.

2. Wales vs Iran Betting Odds

Even though each of these teams has already played once in the group before this encounter, leading bookmakers such as Unibet, bet365, and William Hill haven't changed their early showing for Wales vs Iran winner odds too much, and as usual, they are very competitive, as these three brands especially, have some of the best offers for any given fixture.

Even though there are only three places between these two in the rankings, it is the Welsh who seem to be fancied the most, with win odds of just above 2.15, whereas Iran are currently around 3.75, and it is 3.10 for the draw (all odds of bet365). If you are seeking some different markets, why not try the half-time/full-time bet, where a Draw/Wales is at a great price and the reverse is at an even better price? Such offers are available at every bookmaker.

It is possible to grab massive Wales vs Iran odds on the correct score of 2-1 to the British team, but if you favour the Iranians then the same scoreline has a whopping price. This game has a 0-0 look about it and for that result, there are fair WC 2022 odds of nearly 10.00 on show. Please note that we also already provide some odds alongside our Wales vs England tips and picks provided in the related article for the last round of matches in Group B.

3. Wales vs Iran Prediction

These two teams seem to be well-matched, so any Wales vs Iran predictions will be made with a lot of caution. Naturally, Wales is a favourite here, especially since their display in the first round of matches was way better.

Making a Wales vs Iran betting prediction will not be easy, but after overcoming the Ukrainians in an exceptionally difficult situation to get here, the Welsh will probably have that extra fire in their bellies, and might just edge this one. That said, should Iran manage to find a performance and result against England a few days before this, then their confidence levels will be sky-high and that could spell trouble for the Welsh.

It is a tricky call, so the safe Wales vs Iran prediction is for a draw, possibly even 0-0. Remember to take a look at our USA vs England betting tips we shared for the other second-round match in this group. After all, its result may be crucial for Wales and Iran ahead of their final group-stage matches.
