Where can I watch it?

The game will be shown live on BBC One.

Odds

Iran: 19/1

Spain: 1/6

Draw: 6/1

Prediction

Iran 0-3 Spain. Spain looked good against Portugal and would have won comfortably against Portugal if not for Cristiano Ronaldo. They've now had a week longer to prepare without a manager and will be far more organised at both end of the pitch. Expect Iran to learn this very quickly.
