Today, the national team will play a very important match against the Iranian team in the second round of Group 1 in the decisive round of the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, after the Whites achieved an important victory outside their home in Doha against their Qatari counterpart with three goals to one in the first round.
In this match, Al-Abyad hopes to repeat its scenario of superiority over the Qatari Al-Annabi and achieve the second victory in a row, raising its score to six points and strengthening the lead despite the difficulty of the task against the Iranian team, which won with difficulty over Kyrgyzstan with a clean goal scored by player Mehdi Taremi, and its ranks are full of a large number of professional stars in the major European leagues.
The team is expected to play the match with the same lineup that played its last match against Qatar, with the possibility of making minor changes to the lineup if the match circumstances require it, especially since it is facing a strong competitor.
The national team’s defense, and behind it goalkeeper Khaled Issa, needs to limit the danger of the duo Mehdi Taremi and Sardar Azmoun in the Iranian team’s attack.
