We said: Iran 3-0 Palestine

Asian powerhouses Iran are not only fancied to secure first place in this group but are also expected to be one of the final four sides standing in the last week of the competition. It will be an emotional match for Palestine, who will want to give their fans something to cheer, but we feel that the Lions of Canaan will be far too good for them in this one. Read more.
