Doha, Nov 24: Wales will be looking for their first win of the FIFA World Cup 2022 when they take on Iran at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium on Friday (November 25). They needed a late penalty from Gareth Bale to contain the USA to a 1-1 draw.
Iran, on the other hand, have endured a horrific start to their World Cup campaign losing 6-2 against England in their opener.
This will be a must-win game for both sides if they have to qualify for the knockout stages from this position. Wales will face England in their last game of the group stage and will be extra motivated to secure a win against Iran.
