Iran will look to maintain their 100% record in the 2025 CAFA Cup when they face Tajikistan in their final Group B fixture. 

The Iranians have been solid lately, and their good form extends beyond this competition. While the tournament hosts have the quality to make things difficult, Team Melli are expected to claim the upper hand here. 

Tajikistan News


Tajikistan come into this clash off the back of a 2-0 victory over Afghanistan in their previous fixture. They led at the break through Ekhson Pandzhshanbe before Shervoni Mabatshoev added a second deep into injury time.

That was a fine return to winning ways for Tajikistan, who began their campaign with a 2-1 defeat to India. Their overall form has been a bit erratic lately, with five wins and four draws from their last 10 matches across all competitions.

Tajikistan have shown attacking quality lately, scoring in seven of their last 10 matches across all competitions. 

Iran News


Iran have been the team to beat in Group B of the CAFA Nations League, having won their opening two matches. They began with a 3-1 victory over Afghanistan before beating Iran 3-0 last time out to sit top of the table. 

Those two results are part of a fine run of form for Iran, who are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. They have picked up seven wins on this run, while seven of those fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals. 

Iran often look sharp going forward and have scored in eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they can be vulnerable at the back and are without a clean sheet in six of their last nine matches.

Head to Head


Iran have won the two previous matches against Tajikistan. The most recent meeting was a friendly in 2012, which ended in a 6-1 victory for Team Melli.
