This match presents a challenge, as both teams are currently in good form and possess strong squads. Despite Uzbekistan's recent success, their historical head-to-head record positions them as the less favored team. While the White Wolves may provide a formidable challenge for Iran, the expectation is that Team Melli will ultimately come out on top.
