On November 9 2016 at 13:00 in the regular international friendly game Thailand meet Iran.
Thailand have never achieved anything outstanding in their history and are usually the outsiders of any competition they take part in. Anyway, Thailand successfully overcame the second stage of the qualifiers for the Euros 2016 and now they are on the third one where they had to face serious problems. We must say that at the moment it’s clear that Theiland national team won’t be able to make it to the final part of the world Cup. After 4 games in the Group B they lost to Saud Arabia, Japan UAE and Iraq with 1:10 goal difference and take the last place in the standings of the Group B.
Iran, in their turn, are one of the most difficult teams of the Asian continent, they showed great results on the second stage of the World Cup Qualification and made it to the next one from the first place in the group. They also manage to prolong their lossless series and keep it in during the third qualification stage. After 4 rounds played in their group Iran won against Qatar 2:0, Uzbekistan 0:1, South Korea 1:0 and drew China 0:0. Consequently, they have 10 points and take the first place in the table of the Group A and have really good chances to make it to the final part of the next international forum.
Iran won most of the games played between the teams. Last time they amt in November 2013 and Iran won that away game 0:3. Thailand national team is not in its best conditions at the moment. Iran, in their turn, look really strong, are the absolute leaders of their group and haven’t lost since March this year. We think that Iran will manage to prolong their lossless series even though the upcoming game is going to be a friendly one.
Prediction for the match: Iran to win.
