Iran and USA will be aiming to confirm their place in the last 16 of the 2022 FIFA World Cup when they face off at the Al-Thumama Stadium on Tuesday.

Carlos Queiroz's men sit second in Group B with three points on the board and a draw in their final group outing could get the job done depending on the result between England and Wales in the other Group B encounter.

On the other hand, Gregg Berhalter's men must come away with a victory in this one if they are to avoid an early exit from this year's edition of football's biggest tournament.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the squads of Iran and USA weigh up against each other ahead of Tuesday's contest.
