#广场预测世界杯赢40000U World Cup Day 15 Score Prediction! Senegal VS Iraq (June 27 at 3:00 AM Beijing Time)

Venue: Toronto
This is a direct clash between two "zero-point teams" in Group I. Senegal lost to France and Norway in the first two rounds, conceding 6 goals and scoring only 3, with a goal difference of -3; Iraq lost 1-4 to Norway in the first round and 0-3 to France in the second, with a goal difference as low as -6. Both teams have 0 points. A draw in this match would eliminate both. Only if there is a winner, that winner would get 3 points and rank third in the group, with a slim chance of competing for the best third-placed team. But 3 points are indeed too few, and both teams' goal differences are a disadvantage. Unless one side achieves an unbelievable big win, the chance of advancing is extremely slim.
Basic Information on Both Teams
Senegal is ranked 22nd in the FIFA World Rankings and clearly has the upper hand in overall strength. Although they lost to France and Norway, their performances were not disgraceful; their failure to get any points is more due to bad luck in the draw. In the last match, Ismaïla Sarr, who scored twice, and Sadio Mané formed a "dual-wing" attack. Along with Nicolas Jackson of Bayern Munich on the frontline, Senegal's offensive power is assured. The 18-year-old rising star Ibrahima Mbaye is also on standby. He plays with great aggression and excels in one-on-one breakthroughs. The bad news is that goalkeeper Édouard Mendy suffered a knee injury in the last match against Norway and has been confirmed to miss this game. Iraq returns to the World Cup after 40 years. Although the team's fighting spirit is commendable, they are hard to compare with their group opponents in terms of individual skill, tactical organization, and big-game experience. The defense has repeatedly made basic errors. The top striker Ayman Hussein (hamstring injury) is doubtful to play. The team has never earned any points in World Cup finals history (lost all three matches in 1986).
Predicted Score
Senegal's squad strength, big-game experience, and performance in both attack and defense comprehensively dominate Iraq. The gap in strength between the two teams is very clear. Senegal must put pressure on Iraq from the start, aim for an early goal, and try to increase their goal difference as much as possible.
Predicted: Senegal wins 3-0, but 3 points and the goal difference may still not be enough to qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.
