Rabat - The 2022 World Cup is approaching the end of its first week of matches, adding pressure to the players as a win could put them one step closer to qualification for the round of 16.

According to data from Opta Analyst, Wales has a 49.4% chance to win, while Iran has a 23.2% chance. 

Iran lost against England 6-2 on Monday, while the Welsh side ended their game in a 1-1 draw against the US.

Based on the performance of both teams earlier this week, there is a high chance for Wales to win, although Iran will be eager to recover after their thrashing from the UK. 

 Qatar vs Senegal

Qatar faces Senegal in Group A; the match will take place at 14:00 Moroccan time on November 25 at Al Thumama Stadium in Doha, Qatar. 

Senegal are the favorites to win, with Opta Analyst writing: “The draw is given a 24% chance, with the likelihood of a Qatar win only 16.9%.”

After losing their first games, both Senegal and Qatar will be under a lot of pressure to win in order to stay in the competition. Both teams cannot afford another loss since they already have risked their chances to advance to the round of 16.

Qatar faced a 2-0 loss against Ecuador in the opening game of the competition. The Middle Eastern team lacked confidence throughout the game, coming out of it as the first host nation to ever lose the opening game. Hopes are pinned on a better outcome against Senegal.

England vs USA

Following a comfortable victory in their opening World Cup match, England will face the USA at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor in Doha, Qatar on November 25 at 20:00 Moroccan time. Both teams belong to Group B.
