Predict To Win Won 4/4

Veteran goalkeeper Jalal Hassan, who recently reached 100 caps, will start in goal. Iraq have a few familiar faces in their squad, including ex-Manchester United midfielder Zidane Iqbal and Luton striker Ali Al-Hamadi. Their main goal threat is Aymen Hussein, who could start up front alongside Al-Hamadi. Iraq have been dealt a tough hand in their first World Cup campaign for 40 years with anything other than rock bottom of Group I already looking a tall order. The Middle East nation did draw with European champions Spain earlier this month, but they also just about scraped past minnows Andorra and lost to Venezuela. Norway are finally back on the World Cup stage following a 28-year absence and could hardly have asked for a better start against the team sitting 57th in the rankings. But the Europeans, who have the likes of Martin Odegaard and the lethal Erling Haaland in their team, know they must get off to a winning start with France and Senegal to come.

Iraq VS Norway Iraq makes a long - awaited return to the World Cup proper after a 40 - year absence. Their squad is mainly composed of players from the domestic league. They adopt a defensive - oriented formation, with good defensive integrity. In friendly matches, they've managed to hold strong teams to a draw. They're good at creating goal - scoring opportunities through counter - attacks and set - pieces. However, the team has some weaknesses. The individual skills of players are relatively poor, and the midfield's ball - control ability is weak. They're prone to losing the ball under high - intensity pressing, and their goal - scoring methods are rather limited. On the other hand, Norway boasts two top - class players, Haaland and Odegaard. The squad's value far exceeds that of Iraq. In the World Cup qualifiers, they showed high offensive efficiency. Their high - pressing and wing - attacking tactics are well - developed, and they have sufficient ways to score against a packed defe

Iraq VS Norway Iraq has won 5, drawn 2, and lost 3 in their last 10 matches, showing an improved recent form. Norway, on the other hand, has won 6, drawn 3, and lost 1 in their last 10 games, with a somewhat strengthened defense. Iraq's form has been inconsistent, but their recent performance has been decent. In this game, Iraq and Norway seem to be evenly - matched. Iraq lacks good wingers, and their main threat lies in central penetration. They also don't have a super - strong striker, so their goal - scoring ability is relatively weak. Norway's performance has been mediocre and their form is not at its best. However, they have an edge in past head - to - head encounters and are more capable of getting points. The two teams are quite close in strength. The question is, can Iraq defeat their opponent in this game?
