Lebanon – Iraq : Preview & Prediction
Lebanon will be looking to improve on their last outing here after losing their last match against Korea Republic, 0-1, in WC Qualifiers – Asia.
It has been very rare in recent matches that the Lebanon team has not conceded goals. The reality is that the Lebanon national team has conceded goals in 5 of their last 6 games, which adds up to 7 goals scored in that period.
After being defeated in their previous match against the Iranian team in the WC – Asia Qualifiers match, the Iraqi team will hope to turn the previous result around here.
Iraq’s attacking team have failed to score goals in their past 6 matches, scoring a disappointing 4. In those games, Iraq’s team has also seen the number of total goals against them reach 7. With the previous results aside, we have to wait and find out if such a trend persists in the next match or not.
From our point of view, we think that between the Iraq team and the Lebanon team we will see very few chances to score goals, although maybe they will. At this moment, everything points to a possible tie. Our prediction is a close 1-1 scoreline when the referee rules the end.
Looking at the betting values for this match for the pool match, supporting the Lebanon team is paid at 17/10, supporting a draw is 19/10 and choosing the victory for the Iraq team is 21/10. Those are the best odds on offer right now.
