USA have played three and won three, and were only given a serious test by Brazil. Iran managed to beat Tunisia, but otherwise have struggled to make an impact. Given that Tunisia haven’t looked up to scratch here, these results strongly suggest a straightforward win for the USA.

The USA are such clear favourites that the best odds available for them to win here are 100/1, at BetFred. Iran can be backed at 25/1 at Bwin, and few people are anticipating that they’ll stand much of a chance in this match. That said, USA have pretty much qualified whilst Iran desperately need two points. Iran should be extremely motivated for this match.

Given that Iran will want to make this match a real contest, it may be worth backing them at 9/10 with a +40 points handicap (SportingBet). The American team is capable of winning by more than forty points, but it’s likely that they’ll be met by a determined Iranian defence.
