Team Melli will host Cambodia in Tehran in Group C of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and AFC Asian Cup China 2023.
Marc Wilmots’s team started the campaign with a 2-0 win away at Hong Kong on Matchday Two in Group C.
“It might look an easy match but we should not lose our concentration. We need three points against Cambodia. Sharing the spoils between Iraq and Bahrain was good for us in Matchday Two,” the Zenit St. Petersburg forward said.
“The expectations from Team Melli has raised. I hope we can win the match ahead of our fans,” he added.
