Syria – Iraq : Preview & Prediction
The Syrian team, boosted by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 3-0 win in the WC-Asia Qualifiers against Lebanon.
Rarely in recent matches has Syria kept a clean sheet. In fact, Syria have allowed goals in 5 of their last 6 meetings, scoring 11 goals in that time.
Iraq come into this match on the back of a 1-0 win in WC-Asia Qualifiers, having wrecked the UAE team in their previous outing.
Over the course of their six most recent matches, Srečko Katanec’s Iraq have scored a total of six times. Consequently, this gives them an average of 1 goal scored per match.
From our point of view, we think that between the Iraq national team and the Syria national team it will probably be a low-scoring encounter. Let’s see how the match goes, but there is a real chance that there won’t be too many chances to score goals. We therefore predict a very close 1-1 scoreline when there is no more time left.
