In terms of offensive and defensive efficiency, Senegal has shown they can score even against elite opposition, netting three goals combined against Norway and France. Iraq, on the other hand, has been defensively fragile, conceding seven goals across their two matches (4 against Norway, 3 against France). Offensively, Iraq's stats are extremely poor, averaging just 1.1 shots and 0.3 shots on target per match. This indicates that Senegal's defense, even without the injured Édouard Mendy, should face very little threat, allowing their attackers to dominate the game.

Our betting selections focus on Senegal's expected dominance from the first whistle. We expect Senegal to lead by halftime and cover the -1.5 handicap comfortably. Given Iraq's leaky defense, Senegal's individual team total of Over 2.5 goals offers excellent value. Additionally, the goalkeeper saves market presents a highly reliable statistical angle, as Iraq's goalkeeper Jalal Hassan will be forced to make multiple interventions to keep the scoreline respectable.
