📏 Form Guide
Iraq
DWWWDL
Iraq won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 0-2 International Friendlies defeat in their last game at the hands of Venezuela.
Cristian Cásseres (17') and Jesús Ramírez (46') scored for Venezuela.
It has been all too rare in recent times that Iraq have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Iraq have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 6 goals along the way. We will see whether or not that trend will be continued on in this game.
Norway
WWLDWD
In the game prior to this, Norway drew 1-1 in the International Friendlies match with Morocco.
The only player to score from Norway was Martin Ødegaard (75'). Brahim Díaz (8') was the scorer for Morocco.
The stats don’t lie, and Norway have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 6 goals in all. At the back, Norway have been far from perfect.
📰 Team News: Iraq
In our view, Usood Al-Rafidain will possibly kick off with a 4-4-2 formation with Ahmed Basil Fadhil, Hussein Ali, Zaid Tahseen, Akam Hashem, Merchas Doski, Ibrahim Bayesh, Amir Al-Ammari, Zidane Iqbal, Marko Lawk Farji, Ali Jasim and Ali Al Hamadi.
ℹ️ Team News: Norway
It’s our belief that Løvene could decide to make use of a 4-3-3 lineup, settling for O. Haaskjold Nyland, Julian Ryerson, K. Vassbakk Ajer, T. Lysaker Heggem, David Moeller Wolfe, Martin Oedegaard, Sander Berge, Fredrik Aursnes, Alexander Soerloth, Erling Haaland and Antonio Nusa.
💭 Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Iraq will surely be able to put a goal past this Norway side, but one goal isn’t likely to be enough to avoid defeat.
We can see a narrow 1-2 win for Norway at the end of the match.
