China PR and Iran meet in the AFC World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday.

China PR opened its campaign with a lively 3-2 loss at Seoul in Korea Republic. The team actually trailed 3-0 up until the 73rd minute when two quick strikes gave the team a chance to cut the lead to 3-2.

Meanwhile Iran was fortunate to come away with a 2-0 win over Qatar in a game that featured over 10 minutes of added time. Iran scored its first goal in the fourth minute of extra time and then added another at the 11 minute mark of extra time through ALireza Jahanbakhsh.

Thanks to the goal differential, Iran sits atop the group with nine games to go. A win in China would give it a huge advantage over one of the more difficult sides in the tournament.

Prediction

China should be primed for a comeback win. Expect a 1-0 win from the home team in this matchup.

Start Time, Date, Location

China and Iran kick off at 7:35 a.m. EDT on Tuesday.
