Iran vs Kenya Prediction: Team Melli won’t hold back at halftime

Kenya will play their first international game since suspension when they lock horns with Iran at the Azadi Stadium on Tuesday. This is the home side's second game since last year's World Cup showdown. 

IRAN

FIFA WORLD RANKING: 24th

Last two games: LLWLD

Team Melli head here after their (1-1) stalemate against Russia a few days ago. Iran were on the better side as they fired twenty-two (22) shots to Russians (5) and created two big chances. After their performance in the World Cup, Iran was named the best Asian side and are ranked 24th in the world.

Iran have an excellent record against the African sides and are the favorite to secure maximum points here.

KENYA

FIFA WORLD RANKING: 101st

Last five games: DLLDW

Harambee Stars returned to international competition since 2021 as FIFA lifted their ban. Kenya's last game was a (2-1) victory over Rwanda in the World Cup qualifying round. 

Kenya have won just once in the last six games, scoring four while conceding nine. 

Harambee Stars have won their last three friendly games, but all were against the African sides.

Expert Betting Tips

Iran are a dangerous side, and despite their performance at the World Cup, they remain the favorite here. They dominated Russia in their most recent games and had a chance to obtain all the points. We expect them to win here and secure a halftime win here for 1.71.

Kenya stands no chance here as they’ve not played any competitive games since 2021; bet on a (3-0) correct score for Iran.

We expect a total of over 2.5 goals here for 1.93.

Good luck!
