Iran have the edge — but it's far from a lock.
The story
Iran's last World Cup appearance came over 1,294 days ago, while New Zealand have lost 9 of their 11 most recent matches and have yet to win in 24 of their last 30 away fixtures. Neither side has opened the scoring early in recent memory — Iran failed to score an early goal in all six of their most recent World Cup matches, and New Zealand went without an early goal in 9 of their last 10. Five of the last six World Cup meetings between these sides have finished under 2.5 goals.
