Egypt vs Iran Preview
Egypt take on Iran in this FIFA World Cup Group G clash at Lumen Field, with kick-off set for 23:00 on Friday 26 June.
Both sides have zero points but still have a chance of reaching the knockout stages. Iraq, with a -6 goal difference, need a huge win to stay alive, while Senegal are better placed and a two or three-goal victory should be enough to secure a play-off spot.
Egypt opened their World Cup campaign with a 1-1 draw against Belgium before recording a 3-1 victory over New Zealand at BC Place Vancouver. Hossam Hassan's side enjoyed 56% possession and registered seven shots on target, with Mostafa Ziko, Mohamed Salah and Trezeguet all finding the net.
Iran began the tournament with a 2-2 draw against New Zealand before playing out a goalless draw with Belgium at Los Angeles Stadium. Team Melli saw just 30% of the possession and managed three shots on target.
