Netherlands and England-will they qualify? (Act two in 1st and 2nd Group)

The games of matchday 2 of the World Cup Groups begin today with action in 1st and 2nd Group. They are looking for their second consecutive victory in the Netherlands and England and if they succeed they seal qualification and at the same time the first place in the Group.

See today's program in detail:

12:00 Wales v Iran (Group 2), (Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, Al-Rayyan)

After the draw (1-1) against the USA, Wales will have to beat Iran in order to have a good chance of qualification. who disappointed in the premiership by losing 6-2 to England. Now or never is for Iran, as if they can't get the win, they will say goodbye to the competition with the two defeats, while in the event of a draw, they will keep few mathematical chances. In the matchday news of the two rivals, for Wales Joe Allen - who missed the premiership - is expected to start from the bench, while the opposite side is not expected to use the main portiero, Alireza Beiranvand, who was injured in the premiership.

15:00 Qatar – Senegal (1st group), (Al-Tumama Stadium, Doha)

The hosts face the "lions", in a very interesting match that whoever loses... it is lost after both their defeats in the premiership. There may still be hopes, but in reality the loser, if any, of today's match will have a reduced chance of qualifying. Felix Sanchez's (Qatar) team, which is called upon to immediately correct the wrongs in the two remaining matches against Senegal and the Netherlands if it wants to fight to the end for qualification, is below expectations. For the Senegalese, the outcome of the match against the Netherlands was the same, as they lost 2-0, but the picture of the match was very different. Although without Manet, Senegal made it very difficult for the Dutch who managed to score in the 84th minute with Hakpo.

18:00 Netherlands – Ecuador (1st group), (Khalifa International Stadium, Doha)

The two winning teams of the group premiere face each other. On the one hand, the Netherlands struggled and got confused in the premiership but managed in the end to bend Senegal's resistance and get the coveted victory. On the other hand, Ecuador won fairly and with good football the host country of Qatar 2-0. If there is a winner in today's game, it essentially seals both the qualification to the next stage and perhaps the first place.

21:00 England v USA (Group 2) , (Al-Bayt Stadium, Al-Khor)

The day "closes" with the big match of the evening. England faces the USA in a very interesting pair. The English want their second consecutive success and the Americans will be chasing their first win, after staying at 1-1 with Wales in the premiership. Southgate's team, who got off to an impressive start to the World Cup, are rightfully favourites. But the ace's performance (1.49) carries risks. The USA played impressively in the first leg against Wales and if they present the same face tonight, they may put the English in a difficult position.
