Match preview
Senegal arrive as clear favourites against Iraq, with the model's strength ratings positioning them as a comfortably superior outfit. The West African side's technical quality and experience at this level should give them control of the match, allowing them to dictate tempo and territory throughout. Iraq will need to be organised defensively and clinical on the counter to stay competitive, but the gap in overall capability suggests Senegal should manage the tie with relative comfort if they perform to standard.
