France should be too strong for Iraq. Mbappé, Dembélé, and the French attack will create numerous chances. Iraq will compete but lack the defensive quality to contain France's world-class forwards.

Team Form

France: 2022 WC runners-up. Mbappé is the tournament's best player. Iraq: Hard-working but limited against top-tier opposition.

Head-to-Head

No significant recent meetings. France vastly superior at this level.

Key Insights

France's speed in attack is terrifying. Iraq's defense will be under constant pressure. Over 2.5 goals is very likely as France push for group supremacy.
