Spain vs Iraq Prediction (04.06.2026)

Spain and Iraq will use this control as part of their preparation for the upcoming World Cup. Both teams will participate in the tournament, but it is clear that their goals are fundamentally different. While Spain will be among the teams with ambitions for something significant in the tournament, for Iraq, merely participating is already a serious achievement.

Iraq earned its place in the World Cup thanks to its disciplined play and stability in defense. Good organization is the team's main weapon. However, facing an opponent of Spain's caliber makes the task significantly more difficult. The Spaniards continue to demonstrate a high level both in attack and defense. Their work without the ball is particularly impressive, as they managed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last eight matches. At the same time, the team regularly creates chances and finds a way to the opponent's goal.

I expect Spain to control the events for most of the match and impose their tempo of play. Iraq will likely opt for a more defensive approach, but it will be hard for them to withstand the constant pressure. That is why my prediction is for a Spain victory, and it is quite possible that the Spaniards will keep a clean sheet again.
