Football – World – Asia Section World Cup Qualifier Betting Tips

It’s back to World Cup qualifying action now and a look at the Asia section with Group A leaders Iran taking on struggling China as the hosts look to extend their lead at the top of the group and take another step towards Russia 2018.

Iran have enjoyed a successful World Cup qualifying campaign so far as they head Group A with a useful four-point cushion over second placed Korea Republic, and hold an important six-point lead over fourth placed Syria as we head into this round of group matches this evening.

Iran remain unbeaten overall to date, and hold a 100% record on home turf at their Azadi Stadium in Tehran with stats of 2-0-0 3/0 following wins over Qatar 2-0 and Korea Republic 1-0. In addition, Iran have won their last seven World Cup qualifiers at home on the trot, and the fact that they’ve already beaten the second placed team in the group, Korea Republic, must stand them in good stead here.

Visitors China sit a disappointing fifth place in the six-team Group A just one point above bottom nation Qatar, and China find themselves four points adrift of even the play-off position and Uzbekistan ahead of today’s matches.

To add to China’s disappointment so far, I don’t know of any other country in the world currently that has made a bigger financial commitment to football, and thus far, there have been no real tangible results to their investment – although this may well change in the next 2-3 years or so.

Back to the present though, and China have managed just one win in the group stages so far which was a 1-0 home win over Korea Republic last week, but they’ve lost three of their last four on their travels at this level.
