Betting tips for Iran vs Portugal 25.06.2018

Moment of decisions in the 2018 World Cup. In Group B, Portugal plays with Iran, this Monday afternoon at the Arena Mordovia in Saransk. The Lusos can be first, second and even eliminated, as happens with Spain and Iran. The selection of Cristiano Ronaldo won without love and is second in a group led by Spain for having a lesser yellow card. Meanwhile, Iran, with its victory against Morocco, managed to reach the third day with options to move forward in one of the groups in which the favorites were the clearest of the entire tournament.

Iran comes to this game after a defeat with Spain (0-1), with Spain, in a match in which the Persians were very solid, but that was decided by a goal by Diego Costa. Thus, those led by the Portuguese Carlos Queiroz are third with three points, only one less than Portugal and Spain, and three more than Morocco, needing a victory to achieve a historic passage, although not unprecedented in the second round. The selection mounted by the ex- technician of Real Madrid emphasizes by its defensive solidity, with only two goals received in all the phase of classification and one before one of the best equipment of the World. That will be the strategy against Portugal, although the Iranians will have to risk a little more, because if they want to be in the second round, the draw is not worth them. Considering the good image left in the previous two matches, it is not likely that the Portuguese coach will make any changes.


2018 World Cup PortugalPortugal beat Morocco (1-0), thanks to a goal from Ronaldo in the first minutes, but in a game in which he had many difficulties to stand the African team, which was clearly superior. With this victory and the draw of the first day with Spain, the Portuguese are tied second to all with those of Fernando Hierro, and with a point of advantage for their adversaries on Monday. Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the 4 goals for Portugal in this tournament and is the top scorer of the competition, remains the main highlight of a team in which the men above seem to be a bit below expectations. Thus, Fernando Santos will probably be able to make some changes for this last day of the group stage. Brunos Fernandes in the position of Joao Mario, André Silva for Guedes and Mario Rui for Guerreiro, who also missed one of the training sessions due to some muscle problems, may be some of the novelties.



Despite not love, Porugal is the European champion and is the clear favorite for the match with Iran, which has been making a good tournament, but is far from having the level and talent of the Lusitanian. Queiroz, who is already a defensive coach, knows the Portuguese team very well and will have to prepare his boys very well to stop the attack and Cristiano Ronaldo. Meanwhile, Portugal has got used to a somewhat calculating game and knows that Iran has to win. Thus, a game with few goals may be the best bet option.
