Likely lineups

The first day of the last round of the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar is closed by Iran and the United States, engaged at 8 p.m. Italian time at Al Thumama Stadium. Both national teams with a win would secure passage to the round of 16, regardless of what happens in England-Wales, the other match in Group B.

Queiroz puts faith in the form that beat Wales. Hosseini should still play in goal with Beiranvand not at his best. On the outsides confirmations for Rezaeian and Mohammadi. Also confirmed are Ezatolahi in midfield and Azmoun in attack with bomber Taremi by his side.

Berhalter also confirms the eleven that took the field with England. Bands occupied by Milan’s Dest and Robinson, in midfield confirmation for Juventus’ McKennie. At the center of the attack will be Wright with Pulisic and Weah on his flanks.

Probable formations

IRAN (4-4-2): S. Hosseini; Rezaeian, Pouraliganji, M. Hosseini, Mohammadi; Gholizadeh, Nourollahi, Ezatolahi, Hajisafi; Taremi, Azmoun. Ct. Queiroz

UNITED STATES (4-3-3): Turner; Dest, Zimmerman, Ream, Robinson; Musah, Adams, McKennie; Weah, Wright, Pulisic. Ct. Berhalter
