Iran

Team Overview

In their latest friendly match, Iran hosted Mali and secured a convincing 2-0 victory. This win adds to their recent success, as they also triumphed over Gambia 3-1 just days earlier.

Iran enters this match with a solid momentum, having won their last two friendlies. With a single match played in the last 14 days, they have had ample time to recover and prepare. The squad is fully available, with no injuries or suspensions reported, which should bolster their confidence as they aim to build on their recent successes.

New Zealand

Team Overview

New Zealand faced a tough outing against Haiti in their last friendly, suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat. This loss follows a mixed performance where they had previously beaten Chile 4-1.

Match statistics (Haiti vs New Zealand):

  • Possession: 51% vs 49%
  • Corners: 5 vs 8
  • Fouls: 9 vs 10
  • Yellow cards: 0 vs 1
  • Shots on target: 7 vs 3

New Zealand's recent form has been inconsistent, highlighted by their recent heavy loss to Haiti. They have had 13 days of rest since that match, which allows for recovery and tactical adjustments. Fortunately, they have no injury or suspension concerns, meaning they can field their strongest lineup as they look to bounce back from their disappointing performance.
