In recent years, the level of Chinese football has increased markedly, and this is evident from the results of the national team. At the group stage, representatives of the Celestial Empire won 2: 1 against Kyrgyzstan and 3: 0 against the Philippines, losing 0: 2 to South Korea. The playoff stage also started well for Lippi wards - with a 2: 1 score they won a strong-willed victory over Thailand.

For a long time, the Iranian national team is headed by the Portuguese expert Carlos Queiroz, who was able to bring it to a higher level. This is especially evident in the defense of the Persians - for four games in the tournament, she did not stumble once. In the 2018 Asian Cup, Iran has already put on the shoulder blades Yemen (5: 0), Vietnam (2: 0) and Oman (2: 0), playing a 0-0 draw in the meaningless match of the third round of the group stage with Iraq.
This meeting promises to be interesting, but unproductive, since both teams prefer to play from defense. And although on paper Iran is quoted a little higher, unpredictable Chinese cannot be discounted in advance.
