Qatar vs Iran Prediction 05.06.2025 | WC Qualifiers Asia

• Competition: WC Qualifiers Asia
• Date: Thursday, 5th, June 2025
• Kickoff: 19:15 UK / 20.15 CEST
• Venue: Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium (Doha)

Qatar are desperate to keep their World Cup hopes alive as they welcome group leaders Iran to the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Thursday’s penultimate qualifier.

While they featured at the last World Cup as hosts, Qatar’s hopes of booking a back-to-back World Cup appearance are hanging by a thread, as their inconsistent showings so far have yielded just a lukewarm ten points from the opening eight qualifiers.

Iran's national squad made their dominance crystal clear and punched their ticket to the World Cup for the fifth time in a row without breaking much of a sweat, as they head into the final qualifying phase firmly on top with a comfortable seven-point gap over the United Arab Emirates in third place.

Iran might have booked their place at the 2026 World Cup, yet they’ll be determined to keep their qualifying campaign spotless, though with Qatar looking to play spoiler on home turf, there’s every chance that Thursday’s clash turns into a free-flowing encounter packed with attacking flair. Iran’s greatest weapon in the qualifiers has been their attacking unit that has been on a remarkable scoring spree, netting an impressive 14 goals across the last five matches, which clearly shows they have been tearing through opposing defenses and we believe Qatar will struggle to cope with that firepower. We say this because the hosts of the 2022 World Cup have struggled defensively in recent months as they have gone through a grueling 12-game streak across all competitions without a single clean sheet, and what’s even more concerning is that they have yet to record a shutout in the qualifiers. Although their backline has proved to be flawed, the offensive chemistry and ruthless finishing displayed by the Maroons during the 2026 World Cup qualifiers cannot be overlooked since they have racked up an impressive 16 goals and scored more than three in each of their last three home matches, so we expect a fiery contest in Doha where both sides will find the back of the net with ease.
