Iran and USA clash in a crunch tie to secure qualification to next round
Iran and USA face off in the final fixture of the group stages with both nations vying for a spot in the knockout stages.
Iran come into this game on the back of a thrilling stoppage time win against Wales. Despite conceding six and losing to England on the opening day, Iran find themselves in a good spot to qualify for the next round. Iran are guaranteed a spot in the next round with a win over USA but can also make it through with a draw if Wales fail to beat England (goal difference will play a crucial role in this case)
USA played a spirited stalemate against England in their previous fixture and their hopes for making it to the next round rely on them securing a win today. A draw or a loss and USA will find themselves packing home.
Iran XI(4-3-3): Hosseini; Rezaeian, M. Hosseini, Pouraliganji, Mohammadi; Nouroliahi, Afagh, Hajsafi; Gholizadeh, Azmoun, Taremi
USA XI (4-4-2): Turner; Dest, Zimmerman, Ream, Robinson; McKennie, Adams, Musah, Pulisic; Weah, Wright
Whichever nation among Iran and USA go through to the next round are likely to face one of Netherlands or Senegal, based on the final standings in Group B after matchday 3.
