This is a high-stakes, final-day battle of the basement boys in Group I. Both nations sit on 0 points, but because 8 of the 12 best third-placed teams advance to the Round of 32, a convincing win here preserves a lifeline. Senegal have underachieved defensively, shipping 6 goals against France and Norway, but their forward line remains elite with Sadio Mané, Nicolas Jackson, and Ismaila Sarr fit and scoring. Iraq look completely outmatched after a 4-1 blowout by Norway and a 3-0 blanking by France. Compounding manager Graham Arnold's issues, premier goal scorers Aymen Hussein and Mohanad Ali are both out injured. This leaves Ipswich Town forward Ali Al-Hamadi completely isolated up front. Senegal's sheer structural quality, technical depth, and desperate motivation to run up the score for goal-difference parameters will overwhelm Iraq's backline. Expect a rapid start from Senegal. Our pick: Senegal comfortable 3-1 victors.
