Strengths
68.6% win rate — higher than Brazil, Germany, or Belgium. Taremi (13 goals) is prolific. Just 3 losses in 35 matches. Excellent home record (14W-6D-0L — unbeaten at home).
Weaknesses
Asian qualifying flatters — the step up to World Cup opposition is significant. Limited representation in Europe's top leagues. Group G is manageable but Belgium will be tough.
Key Players
Mehdi Taremi (13 goals), Sardar Azmoun, Alireza Jahanbakhsh
Our Prediction
Should battle Egypt for 2nd in Group G behind Belgium. Round of 16 is achievable.
