The 7th round of the much-anticipated Round of 12 will be fully launched on Thursday, this round in addition to the national football team against Japan is facing a life-and-death battle, the fastest will produce the first team to qualify for the World Cup, as long as it wins, it can be achieved, which makes the national football team under Li Xiaopeng very envious.
Iran men's football team is a major bitter master of the national football team in Asia, into the 21st century since the national football team won fewer losses, the last 12 final matches met, the national football team 0-0 at home and 0-1 away, two legs without victory over Iran, the national football team finally missed the 2018 World Cup, Iran for the sixth time to advance to the final round.
The two teams did not share the same group in this round of 12, and the performance of the national football team and the Iranian team is still very different. Compared with the national football team 6 rounds of 5 points on the verge of being out, Iran accumulated 16 points in 6 rounds, won 5 wins and 1 draw to remain unbeaten, only lost 2 points against South Korea, and won all other matches, worthy of being the first in Asia.
Iran will sit at home against old rivals Iran in the 7th round, and the outcome of this match will determine whether Iran advances to the World Cup three rounds earlier.
At present, Iran has accumulated 16 points to rank first in the group, 10 points ahead of the third-ranked UAE team, the next round to defeat iraq team, the points reached 19 points, the UAE team even if it wins, the points reached 9 points, Iran led by 10 points, only 3 rounds of cases in advance to lock the top two of the group, according to the rules of the qualification, the top two teams in the group directly advanced to the World Cup, without participating in the play-offs.
Therefore, as long as Iran defeats Iraq, it can advance to the World Cup three rounds earlier. Before the game, the data website We Global Football was very optimistic that Iran could qualify for the 2022 World Cup with a 100% probability, which was higher than the probability of promotion of other teams in the round of 12.
Compared with the Iranian team, the national football team was completely thrown away, and the probability of qualifying for the World Cup fell to 0%, and the probability of the Vietnamese team was the same, and the national football team was looked down.
The national football team is behind the first two 7 points of the group, and 6 points from the third of the group, only 4 rounds of the situation, to qualify need a miracle, with the current lineup, it is almost impossible to counterattack, basically in advance to prepare for the 2026 World Cup, when there are 8.5 World Cup places in the Asian region, maybe the national football team hopes to be greater.
