He hit two shots on target in just 80 minutes and created the highest non-penalty xG+xA of any player at the tournament so far. Iraq conceded four goals to Norway and struggled to contain direct, pacey attackers. Olise will operate in a central role where he thrives, with space to shoot and create. He averaged 0.89 shots on target per game across his club career, and France will dominate possession against a limited Iraq side. At the price available, 2+ shots on target looks well within reach.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Correct score &#8211; France 3-0 Iraq<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"\/en\/go\/william-hill?q=gb-all-tcp-wof-s-spo\">5\/1 @ William Hill<\/a><br>(16.7%)<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">France scored three goals in each of their last three matches before this fixture \u2014 beating Senegal 3-1, Northern Ireland 3-1, and Colombia 3-1. Iraq conceded four against Norway and have lost five of their last six games. France have failed to keep a clean sheet in six straight matches, but Iraq have scored just once in those six defeats. Deschamps will not rotate heavily with qualification not yet secured. The 3-0 scoreline reflects France&#8217;s consistent output and Iraq&#8217;s inability to find the net against top opposition. It is the most logical correct score in the market.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Odds correct at the time of writing.

Kylian Mbappe scored a brace to become the highest male French scorer of all time. That statistic alone tells you everything about the attacking mentality Didier Deschamps has instilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>France head into this fixture boasting incredible form across all competitions. A win here seals their place in the knockout round with a game to spare. However, vulnerability remains. France have failed to keep a clean sheet in six straight games. That is a defensive fragility that Iraq&#8217;s quick counter-attackers will look to exploit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deschamps himself knows that there are things his side can do better. Monday&#8217;s match represents another examination for his squad. France enter as overwhelming favourites. This fixture will reveal whether they carry genuine tournament-winning credentials or simply surface-level dominance.<a href=\"https:\/\/sofifa.com\/player\/268879\/ahmed-fathi\/?hl=en-US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iraq\">Iraq<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Iraq arrive in Philadelphia on Monday carrying no points after a tough opening game. The Lions of Mesopotamia struggled against Norway. Erling Haaland inspired the Europeans to a 4-1 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aymen Hussein&#8217;s equaliser in the 39th minute gave Iraq brief hope. A defensive error allowed Norway to retake the lead before half-time. Iraq have never progressed beyond the group stage at a World Cup. Monday&#8217;s match represents the biggest obstacle standing between them and that historic landmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their pre-tournament form adds some credibility. A 1-1 draw with Spain demonstrated real quality against elite European opposition. Graham Arnold has built a side that strikes quickly on the counter. That tactical identity could cause France real problems in Philadelphia. A point here would represent a significant achievement. Three points would be one of the results of the tournament.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/world-cup\/switzerland-world-cup-2026-fixtures-squad-analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-france-team-news\">France team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>France carry no injury concerns into Monday&#8217;s fixture. It&#8217;s a clean bill of health that gives Deschamps a genuinely difficult selection dilemma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deschamps has options across every position. Bradley Barcola scored as a substitute against Senegal. He is pushing hard for a starting berth in Philadelphia. A potential Barcola start could see Desire Doue drop to the bench. Lucas Digne and Manu Kone could also enter the starting lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iraq-team-news\">Iraq team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Graham Arnold will look for much better cohesion from his centre-back pairing. Zaid Tahseen and Akam Hashim must stay completely tight against Kylian Mbappe. Jalal Hassan had an unconvincing display against Norway. Local reports speculate that Ahmed Basil could start in between the sticks instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aymen Hussein scored the equaliser against Norway and will anchor the frontline. Ali Al-Hamadi will partner him in attack. Amir Al-Ammari and Zidane Iqbal will provide creativity from midfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SquawkaBet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"114\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1415389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-300x33.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1536x171.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-400x45.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-600x67.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-538x60.jpg 538w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-150x17.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-40x4.jpg 40w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1.jpg 1792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-head-to-head\">Head-to-Head<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These two nations have never met in men&#8217;s international football.
