⚽ Wales National Team

After spending years in obscurity, the Wales national team has grown up considerably. That said, 2022 has not brought good results for the Welsh. They are ranked 19th in the FIFA rankings.

👟 How Did Wales Qualify?

The Wales national team came very close to crashing out of the World Cup. Their journey in the UEFA qualifiers started in Group B. There they were behind Belgium.

For this reason, they went on to play in the European play-offs straight from the semi-finals. In the semi-finals they defeated Austria thanks to a Bale's brace (2-1). Then they beat Ukraine in the final 1-0.

This result marked the history of Wales, as it will be only the second time they have participated in a World Cup.

🔝 Wales Players to Follow

One of the biggest advantages of the Wales team is that they are a very young team: average 24.7 years. Obviously, this also presents a challenge for the coach and the older players.

Here are some of the outstanding players in the Welsh squad:

• Danny Ward (Leicester City)
• Neco Williams (Nottingham Forest)
• Brennan Johnson (Nottingham Forest)
• Ethan Ampadu (Spezia)
• Daniel James (Fulham)

This will be Wales' last chance to capitalize on a generation full of top-level footballers. It's not just Gareth Bale, but also Wayne Hennessey, Aaron Ramsey and many others.

⚽ Iran National Team

Football connoisseurs will not be surprised to see Iran at Qatar 2022. Ranked 20th in the FIFA rankings, the team is one of the highest-ranked among Asian teams.

👟 How Did Iran Qualify?

Iran's national team had no trouble qualifying for the World Cup. The team started their journey in the 2nd round of the AFC Qualifiers. This was thanks to being one of the best-ranked teams on the continent.

They topped Group C with 18 points (6 wins and 2 losses). Although Iraq was only 1 point behind, the goal difference was largely in favour of the Iranians, who scored 34 goals in 8 matches.

They also had no problems in the 3rd round of the qualifiers. They won Group A with 25 points (8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss)and qualified directly for the 2022 World Cup.

🔝 Iran Players to Follow

While Wales are one of the youngest teams in the tournament, Iran are among the oldest. Although experience is an advantage, players averaging 28.4 years of age could be a problem.

Here are some of the outstanding players in the Iranian squad:

• Ali Gholizadeh (RSC Charleroi)
• Alireza Jahanbakhsh (Feyenoord)
• Mehdi Taremi (Porto)
• Majid Hosseini (Kayserispor)
• Sardar Azmoun (Leverkusen)

Of all the players in the Iranian national team, Sardar Azmoun is the one who can continue to improve on his history at the helm of the team. He is Iran's third all-time leading scorer with 41 goals in 65 games.

Here are some interesting facts:

• Wales have never lost a match to an Asian side, although the record is not particularly extensive. So far they have played 7 meetings, with 5 wins and 2 draws (both against Kuwait).
• Iran have shown that they can hurt teams of a higher level than themselves, as their 1-0 win over Uruguay showed. In 2022 they have four wins, one draw and two defeats.
• Some of the key players in the Wales squad are coming back from injury with their clubs. Most notably Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey. Davies and Wilson will be doubtful until the last minute.

As you can see, Wales may be a better team than Iran, but they are not having a very positive year. Whereas the Iranians are capable of upsetting any team that isn't very well prepared.
