The starting lineup for the match against Syria in Amman, Jordan has been announced.
As expected, Alireza Beiranvand, Team Melli goalkeeper has lost his place after his poor performance against Lebanon and Amir Abedzadeh will take his place. Omid Nourafkan and Ehsan Hajsafi are the other two changes for Iran. Ghoddos will remain on the bench. With Jahanbaksh being suspended, Skocic has opted to play Sardar Azmoun as the lone forward with a 4-5-1 lineup.
