North Korea Form

North Korea are up against it in qualifying after picking up just two points from a possible 12 in four World Cup qualifiers.

A 1-0 defeat to Uzbekistan was followed by draws with Qatar 2-2 and United Arab Emirates 1-1.

In the most recent qualifier last month, North Korea slipped to another 1-0 defeat away to Kyrgyzstan to leave themselves bottom of the standings.

North Korea qualified for the third stage of World Cup qualifying when finishing runners-up to Japan in June.

Iran have won three of their four games in this stage of qualifying for the World Cup and top the group standings.

Wins over Kyrgyzstan 1-0, United Arab Emirates 1-0 and Qatar 4-1 are joined by a 0-0 draw with Uzbekistan in what has been a near perfect campaign so far.

To reach this third round of Asian World Cup qualifiers, Iran went unbeaten in six matches including four wins over Hong Kong and Turkemenistan.
