World Cup 2022: Group B preview, odds and tips as England and Wales look to progress
Gareth Southgate's England are the favourites to win the group. The Three Lions take on Iran in their opening game. Carlos Quieroz is entering his third World Cup as Iran boss. Wales and USA are playing each other in the second round.
England are 4/11 to win the tournament in 2021. They failed to secure a single win in their Nations League campaign against Italy, Germany and Hungary.
Wales qualified for the World Cup in Sweden via the play-offs against Ukraine. Gareth Bale's free-kick was the difference between them and Ukraine and they will be looking for more from him.
USA are playing in their first knockout round match since 2014. They failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Iran are 14/1 to win the World Cup in 2022. Saman Ghoddos and Alireza Jahanbakhsh are among the players who could play for Iran. Head coach Quieroz had a successful stint with Team Melli between 2011-2019.
