Hosts Qatar will face Iran in the last four of the Asian Cup. Both teams have won four matches and drawn one in this year's legal time, and their strengths are similar. However, Qatar, the reigning champions, will have a relatively easy path to qualification, while Iran is getting stronger and stronger in their tough matches, plus they have the strength, experience and track record, so an Away win is a tip. (Live on HOY TV 77 at 11pm Wednesday)
Three-time champions Iran are among the best in Asia, and were among the top four last time out, with stars such as Tanimi, Asmund and Chahan Bakshi playing in Europe's most advanced leagues, making them a championship-caliber lineup.
Iran technically beat Japan 2-1 in the round of 8, holding their opponents at bay for the entire match, and the players' form is extremely assured. In addition, Iran's ace striker Tanimi is back after serving his sentence, the firepower is even more powerful, and Iran has maintained a very high form since last year, with 15 wins and 2 undefeated in the last 17 matches, and the last 6 matches against Qatar also recorded a full win, with a "Gheegeegee" flavor.
