The White Wolves came out on top of a five-goal thriller in their most recent match, while Team Melli secured a narrow victory at the United Arab Emirates.

Uzbekistan are well on course to ensuring that it is eighth time lucky, with the team enjoying a productive September international break, beating both North Korea and most recently Kyrgyzstan.

They found themselves 2-1 down at Stadion Im on September 10 and staring a first defeat of the third round in the face, but goals either side of the break from Khusniddin Alikulov and Oston Urunov secured a comeback victory for the visitors to Bishkek.

Colleting six points from their opening two matches in the group, Uzbekistan are currently leading the way in the Group A standings, already three points ahead of UAE in third and five better off than Qatar, who are languishing down in fifth.

Uzbekistan have not lost a game in normal time since a friendly encounter with USA in September 2023, when goals from Timothy Weah, Ricardo Pepi and Christian Pulisic secured a 3-0 for Gregg Berhalter’s Stars and Stripes in St Luois, Missouri.

Iran are on track to make their fourth straight appearance at the World Cup finals following a flawless September international break, during which they managed a pair of 1-0 wins over Kyrgyzstan and UAE, meaning that they are level on points with Uzbekistan in Group A after two games.

Following Iran’s disappointing group-stage exit at the last World Cup two years ago, Amir Ghalenoei replaced Carlos Queiroz in the Iranian dugout, with the 60-year-old winning 20 of his 24 official matches in charge so far, losing on just the single occasion.

With the AFC now receiving eight automatic spots for the World Cup – double the amount on offer for the confederation at the 2022 edition of the tournament – Iran are red-hot favourites to secure a spot in North America, where they will be hoping to progress past the group stage for the first time.

Uzbekistan Team News

Helping to inspire a second-half comeback at Kyrgyzstan last time out, the likes of Abdulla Abdullaev and Azizbek Turgunbaev will be pushing for spots in the Uzbekistan starting XI.

Despite conceding two in Bishkek, the hosts should stick with a centre-back trio of Rustamjon Ashurmatov, Umar Eshmuradov and goalscorer Alikulov.
