Kyrgyzstan vs Iran Prediction and Betting Tips | November 19th 2024
Kyrgyzstan will face Iran at the Dolen Omurzakov Stadium on Tuesday in another game of their third-round 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The home side have endured an unsurprisingly difficult run of results in their World Cup qualifying campaign so far and now sit fifth in Group A with just three points from an obtainable 15.
They were beaten 3-0 by the United Arab Emirates in their last match and could have no major complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target in the opposition box throughout the match as they fell to a third consecutive defeat at the hands of the Whites.
Meanwhile, Iran have performed brilliantly in their qualifying campaign so far and are well on course to advance to a fourth straight World Cup. They picked up a narrow 3-2 victory over North Korea last time out, heading into the break with a comfortable three-goal lead before their opponents reduced the deficit in the second half to ensure a frantic finish to the contest.
The visitors remain atop their group with 13 points and will be looking to put out a much more convincing performance on Tuesday.

Kyrgyzstan vs Iran Prediction
The White Falcons have lost four of their last five games and have won just one of their last eight. They have had mixed results on the road of late and will have to be at their very best to get anything out of Tuesday's contest.
Iran are on a run of back-to-back wins and are undefeated in their last nine games. They have been the dominant side in this fixture historically and should extend their winning streak on Tuesday.
Prediction: Kyrgyzstan 0-3 Iran
