    Head-to-head
    • Iran are unbeaten in five meetings with Bosnia-Hercegovina between 2001 and 2009, having notched four wins and a draw.
    • Iran were reportedly the first national team to play Bosnia-Hercegovina, in a friendly match back in 1993. The Bosnians emerged 3-1 victors in Tehran, although the match was not officially registered as the Bosnian Football Federation was not yet a member of Fifa.
    Bosnia-Hercegovina
    • They have kept one clean sheet in their last six games.
    • Bosnia-Hercegovina have lost back-to-back competitive games for the first time since Safet Susic took charge.
    • They have attempted 36 shots (including blocked efforts) in Brazil, but scored only once.
    Iran
    • Eleven of the last 12 World Cup goals conceded by Iran have been scored in the second half.
    • The Iranians are winless in their last six World Cup games (D2, L4).
    • At this World Cup they have won 50% of headers in the opposition penalty area, with 42% of their shots coming from headers. Both ratios are amongst the highest of sides competing in Brazil.
    • Iran attempted just 130 passes against Argentina, the fewest in a World Cup game since 1966 (as far back as this data goes). Argentina made 512.
