Game with taste of revenge is what awaits us this Thursday at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, when for the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup the Chinese team faces the Iranian World Cup.
China:
The Chinese will seek revenge on the Melli team in this game and remember that it was Iran that took China out of the qualification campaign for the 2018 World Cup Russia.
Those led by Marcello Lippi started the Asian Cup with a 2-1 victory over Kyrgyzstan and then beat the Philippines 3-0, but in their last game of the group stage they lost to South Korea by 2-0. they had to settle for second place in the group.
Already in the round of 16 they faced the selection of Thailandia and the victory was 2-1, in a game that they put something complicated after going to the break losing by a goal, and now it is time to get into the final stretch of the competition before one of the candidates for the title such as Iran.
Iran :
Iran is on a completely different level compared to its opponents, so those led by Carlos Queiroz have gained a lot of experience in playing in the 2018 World Cup Russia and that has given them the advantage over their rivals in the competition.
So the Melli team has not yet conceded a goal in the tournament and they are also unbeaten, first they defeated Yemen 5-0 and then a 2-0 victory over Vietnam to finish with a goalless draw against Iraq; while in the round of 16 they faced Oman and won with a lot of comfort 2-0, and now they want to maintain that level against a China against whom they have not lost in their last three matches where two were victories.
The last time they met for the Asian Cup was in 2007 in the group stage and the result was a draw with two goals.
PREDICTION: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.56
