IRAN LIKELY XI

Against South Korea and Iraq, manager Dragan Skočić set his side up to play in a defensive-oriented shape very compact that hit their opponents on the counter. They will likely set up this way in Qatar, and if Sardar Azmoun can replicate his qualification form, they have a chance of making it to the Knockout Stage. The Bayer Leverkusen striker scored 10 goals in 10 appearances.
