Senegal vs Iraq Prediction (26.06.2026)

Senegal and Iraq still have not earned a point after their first two matches in the group, but the performances of the two teams were quite different. Senegal showed that they can be competitive even against favorites France and Norway, seriously challenging them at times. This gives them more confidence before the decisive clash with Iraq.

Iraq had the misfortune of being in one of the toughest groups of the tournament and failed to compete against the two favorites. Senegal, on the other hand, demonstrated that they have enough quality in attack, scoring against France and netting two goals against Norway. This suggests that the African team will seek to take the initiative from the very first minutes and will try to impose their tempo.

For Senegal, the three points are essential, and it is also possible that goal difference will prove decisive in the battle for qualification among the best third-placed teams. That is why I expect the team to play offensively right from the start and to achieve a convincing success. My prediction is for a victory for Senegal with a margin in the score.
