The Best Bet: How to double your money on Morocco vs Iran

Iran are quite literally the bookies favourite to finish bottom of Group B this summer. In fact, odds of 0.8 are the best can can currently find on Iran finishing fourth, having been drawn in a group of death alongside Spain, Portugal and Morocco. It will be difficult to make any money against them and you will have to be inventive with your bets.

Iran have only won one of their previous 12 World Cup matches and have only scored seven goals in that period. When the groups were drawn in December, it would have been a disappointing day for the Iranian FA. They are unlikely to improve on their record at World Cup finals in Russia this summer.

Queiroz’s side can at least take solace from the fact they have avoided Spain and Portugal in their group opener, but Friday’s encounter with Morocco will still prove extremely difficult.

Morocco, for example, are the only side at the World Cup that did not concede a single goal in the final phase of qualifying. You can get odds of 1.2 on BetStars for Morocco to keep a clean sheet against Iran, but that is not worth your time.

Herve Renard’s side are also only 1.3 on Betfred to beat Iran on Friday, but it might be worth combining both markets to boost your returns. In fact, Unibet are offering odds of 2.1 for Morocco to win to nil against Iran.

The Atlas Lions are expected to ease past Iran and this market appears a low-risk option to double your stake and kick off the World Cup on a winning note.
