Iran vs USA Predictions, Game Pick, Prop Bets: Make or Break for USMNT
USA head into today's crunch game with Iran hoping that the 2022 World Cup won't be remembered for missed opportunities. It's fair to say that the USA have been the better team in both of their first two games, but only sits with one point in Group B and on the brink of elimination.
That can be rectified with victory over Iran today, however, as a victory for USMNT would push them through to the last 16.
Sportsbooks give the US a good chance of pulling off the vital victory, offering odds of +100 on a win, while Iran are as big as +300 (3/1) to win this 2022 World Cup game.

Iran vs USA Predictions
Win: stay in the tournament and advance to the knockout stages, lose: go home. It's that simple for the USA.
On that basis, the USA know that they will have to make a push at some stage so expect this game to open up as we get into the second half. Iran will be sitting back like they tried to do against England, but an early USA goal will throw that plan into jeopardy and goals could well flow if Iran has to take chances at the back.
The USA have quality throughout their midfield and can win the battle in the middle of the pitch. The pace of both the attacking full-backs will cause Iran plenty of trouble and it will be a case of taking their chances in front of goal, something they couldn't do against Wales or England, I envisage the US making it third time lucky.
Back USA to get to the win and take the overs in the game.
Iran vs USA prediction: USA win +100 (Bet $100 to collect $200) (odds available with FanDuel Sportsbook)
Iran vs USA prediction: Over 2.5 goals +150 (Bet $100 to collect $250) (odds available with FanDuel Sportsbook)
Iran vs USA Prop Bet Predictions: It's Christian Pulisic's Time
For the US to pull off the win, they will need their star man Christian Pulisic to deliver a big performance. There have been glimpses of Pulisic's quality in both of their first two games, but now's the time to grab the headlines for the Chelsea player.
If you think the playmaker will do just that, you can get odds of +700 on Pulisic to score the first goal, or take the +300 available on him to score at any time in the game. The best bet, however, looks to be on Pulisic to be named man of the match at +200 - throughout this tournament, the biggest names on the pitch have been collecting that award and there's no doubt Christian Pulisic fits that bill.
Iran vs USA Prediction Prop Bet: Christian Pulisic man of the match +200 (Bet $100 to collect $300) (available with bet365 Sportsbook)
