Iran vs Kenya Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in International Friendly on Tuesday, 28 March 2023.
The Iranians have established themselves as one of the best teams in the Asian federation, and even secured qualification to the World Cup in style.
Meanwhile, the Kenyans could not even make it through one stage of the qualifiers conducted by the African federation. Besides they are ranked outside of the top-100 in the world, whereas their counterparts are placed 24th in the list by FIFA.
Only once have these two teams locked horns before, and then the Iranians registered a 1-0 win. The clash took place back in 2009.
Not only are Iran one of the absolute best teams in Asia, but they even secured an entry into the 2022 World Cup, and delivered a win over Wales, led by Gareth Bale. They were unlucky to have missed out on a place in the knockouts.
On the other hand, Kenya were eliminated in the Second Round of Qualifiers in Africa, after they received a bye, allowing them to skip the First Round. They are ranked 101st in the world, whereas their opposite number is 24th.
Most of all, the Iranians have a 100% winning record in h2h clashes as well. A win is the expected outcome for the team.
Kenya managed to keep just two clean sheets from their last 15 games, and the last they managed to register a clean sheet on the road was back in 2019. Iran will definitely try to make the most of this opportunity. A high-scoring can be expected.
Iran did keep a clean sheet in the only h2h meeting so far, and the Kenyans have been recently struggling with their offense as well. It looks unlikely that Kenya would find the back of the net this Tuesday.
Iran managed to gain entry into the World Cup in grand style, and they certainly left their mark with a win over Wales. As a matter of fact, they have established themselves as one of the best teams in Asia, and are rightfully targeting a much deeper run in the 2026 edition of the World Cup.
On the other hand, Kenya could not even pass through one stage of the African Qualifiers. Besides they are ranked outside the top-100 in the world, as opposed to their counterparts being placed 24th in the same list.
Most of all, Kenya lost the sole h2h clash so far as well.
Likely, a win for Iran seems the most likely outcome, and the odds are placed at 2.00 odd.
