Iraq – Norway Prediction

Iraq mark a long-awaited World Cup return against a Norway side spearheaded by one of the game's deadliest strikers. The gap in firepower is wide, but openers can be cagey and Iraq will defend with pride.

Iraq ground out results

Graham Arnold's side have been hard to beat — a 1-0 over Andorra, a 2-1 over Bolivia to seal their place, a playoff double-header with the UAE and a 0-0 with Saudi Arabia — around 1.4 scored and 0.8 conceded. Aymen Hussein leads the line with Ali Al-Hamadi and Zidane Iqbal in support, and no confirmed absentees.

Norway and Haaland

Norway carry goals throughout, most recently beating Sweden 3-1 and racking up 37 in eight qualifiers. Erling Haaland led European qualifying with 16, though he was rested for the Sweden friendly; Martin Odegaard is a doubt after an injury-hit season, with Jorgen Strand Larsen and Antonio Nusa adding threat.

Quality versus a block

The teams have never met. The Iraq versus Norway prediction leans on Norway's superior output against an organised but modest Iraq, with the Norwegians likely to break through a stubborn side.
