Iran is completely "underdog" team from a very weak qualifying zone. They claimed the 1st place leaving behind North Korea, whose young players are not progressing, and those who reached the quarterfinals before 12 years old are already retired, as well as Uzbekistan, whose football has significantly strengthened in recent years. The team's core is made up of players from the country's championship, but there are also representatives from Europe and one from Canada. I will not mention surnames as they do not say anything, but it is worth noting that GK, MID, FW each have two representatives from European clubs. GK, one belongs to Rubin, but was loaned to a Portuguese 2nd league team and played 14 matches, the other played at Eintracht Braunschweig in Germany from 2009-2014 and played 92 matches, but now represents a Swiss club.
Forwards, one plays for NEC in the Netherlands since 2013 29/5. The other is from St.Legie in Belgium, where he played 10/4 in the 13/14 season, but moved to Charlton Athletic in England 15/1. And defenders, one of whom is a Fulham representative since 2012 43/5 and the most experienced is a representative of Las Palmas since 2013 29/5, but represented Osasuna from 2008-2013 101/8. The team includes players whose roots are from Iran and who represented their home countries in youth teams (Germany, the Netherlands, etc). The coach is Portuguese C.Queiroz with a very interesting and strange coaching history.
Nigeria, the current African champions, has many well-known players in the team, most of whom represent mid-level European clubs, as well as some big names, but played mostly a statistic role in those teams: Moses (Chelsea/Liverpool, Obi Mikel Chelsea) Musa, Odemwinge, Emenike, Ameobi, Azeez, Ambrose, Onazi are representatives of clubs such as CASK, Stoke City, Fenerbahce, Lazio, Almeria, Celtic, Lille/Maccabi. The team finished first in the group stage (Malawi, Kenya, Namibia) and defeated Ethiopia in the qualifiers (2-1 and 2-0). It is coached by Stephen Keshi, who has trained only national teams throughout his coaching career.
We suggest taking a risk with Nigeria's corner kicks and betting that they will have more than 5 corner kicks per game. I believe that this total is given because of Iran's opponents' corner kicks (Angola 2, Montenegro 0, North Korea 2) indicates impressive numbers, but Nigeria is at a different level and 5 corner kicks are very likely to bring back the money, and for 6 or more we get a plus. The African team did not go over this total during the friendly cycle against Mexico (4) with Greece (5), USA (10), Scotland (8). In this bet, we should not look at the statistics of Iran's opponents, but rely on Nigeria's statistics and pay attention to the games against defensive style teams like Greece, as they only had 5 corner kicks, but Greece did not lose as the 2nd number and their defense starts from the high t.y. from the center of the field, making it difficult to reach the goal and thus reducing the probability of shots, which in turn reduces the number of corner kicks, but Iran is definitely not skilled at defending from the center of the field and is more likely to press at the 16m, then in such a case there is an opportunity for shots.
After the first matches in the group stage (Argentina 2-1 Bosnia), the Africans understand that they must win these games if they want to compete with Bosnia for the next stage. Iran should play as the 2nd number, which means attacks and shots from the opponents' side, another thing when the defense is tightened and the probability of blocked shots is huge, and there should be quite a few shots from a distance, Nigeria should take control at the 2nd level, where they have tall players and in this case even several consecutive corner kicks are possible, I do not think that Iran will play open football, but a cautious game and the majority of the game will take place on the Asians' side of the field. The odds and the total are very good, so we try.
