Iraq vs Norway

Current version

ما الذي شكّل هذه القراءة

• Matchday 1 gives both teams reason to protect goal difference, but Group I’s France/Senegal context makes a strong Norway win valuable and Iraq can stay direct if trailing.
• Norway start a full attacking 4-3-3 with Ødegaard supplying Haaland, Sørloth and Nusa, while Iraq’s 4-4-2 includes two forwards and wide runners rather than a purely damage-limitation XI.
• Over 3 at 2.00 is stronger than Under 3 at 1.80 because Norway’s front-loaded XI and Iraq’s counter/aerial outlets create routes to 3+ goals; Under needs Norway control without late transition or margin chasing, which is less attractive at the shorter price.
