England v. Iran Betting Odds & Predictions

Now, there is an odd couple. Thank God for extraordinary sporting events like the Football World Cup 2022 in Qatar without which the chances of witnessing a game like the one opposing England v. Iran would be slim to none! In fact, this is the very first time in football history that the Three Lions meet the Iranian side at the men’s senior level.

The two sides will face off on the very first day of the World Cup, on November 21, 2022 at 15:00 Qatar time or 14:00 CST (and 13:00 London time) at the Khalifa International Stadium.

Iran Head Coach Dragan Skocic

It is important to note that Iran qualified in first position in their AFC qualifying group. They are lead by head coach Dragan Skocic, a Croatian professional football manager and former player who is the manager of the Iran national team. Iran are familiar with the World Cup Finals. They qualified on six occasions, including for the last two editions in 2014 and 2018.
