On August 25, 2022, Iran will face off against Japan in a World Cup qualifying match. In the second phase of the selection, the opponents will begin. Three teams from Group F will obtain World Cup tickets as a consequence of the tournament’s outcomes. Iran might be one of them, whereas Japan has far fewer possibilities. Face-to-face encounters will improve the understanding of Iran vs Japan. Japan, therefore, has the edge after 13 full-time games, having won seven of them. Less than two weeks have passed since the most recent games. Iran lost in two games with scores of 77:82 and 58:80.
In the most recent qualifying round, Iran finished second in its group. They handled Syria and Bahrain with assurance, but Kazakhstan proved to be too challenging. The national squad, however, exacted retribution at the Asian Cup, triumphing by a margin of more than 30 points. The group stage followed with three victories for Iran. It is all the more remarkable that Jordan eliminated Iran in the first round of the playoffs. The team’s only friendlies in August were against Japan.
Japan didn’t present itself in the greatest light during the first World Cup selection process. They defeated Taiwan twice but fell short against China and Australia in every way. The squad advanced from the group stage in the Asian Cup after starting in second position and only losing to Iran. It should be taken into account that they performed better than the Philippines and exerted pressure on Australia in the playoffs, 85:99.
