Iran is no novice to the big occasion, having qualified for four of the past six World Cups, and they are now making immediate work of their campaign to qualify for the major tournament. In Group A, they have the upper hand and presently sit atop the table with 16 points from six games. With three games to go, Iran is on the verge of completing its goal and qualifying for the mega event.
On the other hand, Iraq had to fight hard to reach the third round, and they now have four points from six games. They are currently in fifth place in Group A.
