2022 World Cup Betting Picks & Predictions: Wales vs. Iran
Wales (0-0-1) v. Iran (0-1-0) [5 a.m. EST]
Wales looked to be focused and poised in the second half of their bout with the United States, being able to net the equalizer and secure a point in an eventual 1-1 draw. They should be able to take advantage of an Iranian team that the Brits just picked apart, even without their attacking class. Their discipline should keep the Iranians off of the board, and they have a clear talent advantage, so I will be playing Wales +110 as a value play. The fact that there is + money value against Iran is wild to me, but with the fact that the style Wales plays doesn’t inspire much action, give me No on Both Teams to Score at -138. It was a good idea to put Wales at 5 am because it is the game that I am the least mad about missing.
Bet: Both Teams to Score NO (-130)
