Iran and Nigeria have something in common ahead of their World Cup clash in Curituiba. When they meet at the Arena da Baixada, both teams will be bidding to win their first match in the World Cup finals since France 1998. With Argentina the clear favorite in Group F, Iran and Nigeria are expected to compete with tournament newcomer Bosnia-Herzegovina for second spot.
Though Nigeria are often considered a powerhouse of African football, the Super Eagles have not won a game at the World Cup finals since defeating Bulgaria in a group match 16 years ago. Since then, Nigeria have endured two fairly dismal World Cup campaigns, including in South Africa in 2010, notching up a grand total of two points.
