Predictions For England’s Opener Against Iran

On Monday, England is being backed to begin their World Cup campaign on a winning note against Iran at Khalifa International Stadium. Even though most betting websites are giving just 4/11 on England winning against Carlos Queiroz’s team, you may find a lot of benefits by looking into the alternative winning wagers, including handicaps, wagers to win to nil, and bet builders. It will be an enjoyable, politically-charged occasion. England players will kneel before the match, even though their manager, Gareth Southgate, said his players would wear the OneLove armband to express solidarity with the victims of the London attacks.

Iran is currently the number one Asian side in the FIFA rankings. Iran has risen to 20th in the world rankings thanks to their excellent performances in qualifying, putting them ahead of countries like Serbia and Morocco ranked higher. South Korea finished first in their qualifying group, winning eight out of ten games.
It’s tough to imagine how Iran will survive against an England squad of this quality. Southgate has a few injury worries – Kyle Walker and James Maddison are unavailable, while Kalvin Phillips is doubtful – but the Three Lions still have great players in every area. However, the defense is a big question mark. However, Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham should handle the midfield, and England forwards will do the rest. It might be a cagey, close match, but there would be an uproar if England didn’t beat the bottom-ranked team in Group A, and that’s why football betting sites are giving them 4/11 odds.

The probability of Harry Kane scoring in this match is too reasonable to pass up. The England captain won the World Cup’s top scorer prize in 2018 and is the favourite to win the Golden Boot this year. He was England’s hero in their first group match in 2018, when he scored twice to give Tunisia a 2-1 defeat.

In 75 games for England, Kane has scored 51 goals. This season, the Spurs striker has fired twelve goals in fifteen Premier League matches, and he may receive vital service in this match.

A player from the winning side will most likely receive the man of the match award. England’s talisman, leader, and central focus in attack, Harry Kane, is the obvious candidate, but there is much more value if you look further down the pitch. Jung Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham has been a standout this season, particularly if you are looking for a player who can help you to win matches.

In a Champions League match against Manchester City, Bellingham was named man of the match, prompting Pep Guardiola to deem him ‘the whole package.’ Phillips has been out for a long time and will probably start in this game. Therefore Bellingham will be eager to play. The midfield will be essential on Monday, and Bellingham will be the most stylish player in that area, so 8/1 about him winning man of the match looks like a decent bet.
