Egypt prefer a system that balances attack and defence.
Iran generally use a balanced tactical approach.
Egypt are struggling badly and finding it hard to turn things around. It will be important for them to respond quickly in upcoming fixtures.
Meanwhile, Iran are struggling badly and picking up very few positive results. This could start to affect confidence within the squad.
Iran's results have been consistent regardless of playing at home or away.
Egypt have been vulnerable defensively, rarely managing to keep clean sheets. They will need to tighten things up at the back.
In contrast, Iran have shown solid organisation at the back in recent matches. They look fairly disciplined in defence.
A rare pattern, with Iran defending far better away from home.
Egypt's fixtures tend to be attack-minded and lively. There is usually a good balance between attack and defence.
Likewise, Iran have often featured in open games with several goals. Chances tend to be created at both ends.
Iran's fixtures are far more entertaining at home than away.
Egypt show strong attacking consistency, rarely ending matches without a goal. Opponents are under constant pressure when facing their attack.
In contrast, Iran have generally been effective going forward, scoring in most recent games. Their attacking play remains a key strength.
A strong home bias in Iran's attacking output.
