It's still in our hands no matter the result. If we win all 4 remaining matches we are 99% through even if we finish second.
I am not optimistic, but depending on the other results, we could even afford to lose another match and qualify with 15 points.
Remember that Qatar will most likely win their group and thus there will be one more spot up for grabs.

The qualification structure :

• 
  
• Second round: 40 teams were divided into eight groups of five teams to play home-and-away round-robin matches.
  
• The eight group winners and the four best group runners-up advance to the third round of FIFA World Cup qualification as well as qualify for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup. If Qatar finish as winners in their group or as one of the four best runners-up, the fifth-best runners-up will go to the third round in their stead

best scenario could be iraq wins next game and wins group before iran iraq game. this way that game wont be as intense and iran can advance as runner up if they win last game

Agreed! Anything but a Bahrain win will do though.

Our goal difference is also a huge advantage if we finish on the same points as the other runner ups btw.

You are Wrong the best Result for Iran in the next game is Iraq wins against Bahrein.
Because with that and Iran wins next 3 games secure 2 place
Next Round advance
All 1 Places and best 5 second places

wrong. a draw is the best result. if the match end in a draw we can even qualify as first Team.this is important.

iraq Bahrain draw

iraq 11
Bahrain 9
Iran 6

the next wo matchdays if we win our two Matches, and iraq and Bahrain win their one match (each one free matchday)

iraq 14
Bahrain 12
Iran 12

than we have two Matches, if we can win both, we finish even first Team

Iran 18
iraq max. 17
Bahrain max. 15

The Arab teams have and always had our number. They knew how to break us down psychologically, and always do. It was only with CQ (and his staff's) psychological coaching (in addition to physical/endurance coaching) that got us over that self-doubt. However, with his tenure over, it's clear that it has crept back in.

[Philosophy_King]

But even under CQ Iraq caused problems for us, they are stylistically a bad match up for us. what makes them even more dangerous is, that they have many players in the IPL and know most of our players and Iranian football culture.
One has also to admit (although i highly dislike Iraqs NT) that Mohanad Ali, Tarik Hamam, their number 7 and Bashar Rasan are quality players.

Damn. For 7 years we didn’t have to worry about qualifying.

Our only worries were how to beat Morocco or Portugal. Now it is how to survive Bahrain and Iraq.

[rdwrrr]

I really don;t think we can take the group.
Best chance is the second place qualifying.
After next weeks games, a lot more will be predictable.
There is a high possibility of identifying 2 of the 2nd place qualifiers next week.

now we see how tying in away games by CQ made a lot of sense.

[allan123]

so, here we go again.
thanks to the HKG – BAH tie. we still have some chances to advance to the next round.
One thing is sure and a absolut must, we have to win all our remaining games!
That would give us 18pts.
Crucial is the upcoming match IRQ–BAH.
IRAQ wins
that makes it almost impossible for us to qualify as first of the group. We would habe to win all our remaining games and hoping for being on of the best second placed teams in all groups.
IRAQ ties or IRAQ loses
that would give us hope to finish first. We just would have to win all our games. And will be on top of the table first.
So lets hope for a draw or BAH win.

You are Wrong the best Result for Iran in the next game is Iraq wins against Bahrein.
Because with that and Iran wins next 3 games secure 2 place
Next Round advance
All 1 Places and best 5 second places

[Super Shojaei]

What makes you think they will drop points there and not get a 1-0 boring win?

was with Bahrain in the team hotel in Hong Kong they seemed tense and nervous I knew they wouldn't deliver and they didn't. Hong Kong is an alianating place to play football

[peiman92]

We need to win all games,period.
