France vs Iraq World Cup 2026 Predictions, Picks and Odds

France vs Iraq meet in Group I at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on June 22, 2026, with a 5:00 PM ET kickoff on Fox. France arrive as the overwhelming favorites after beating Senegal 3-1 in their opener, while Iraq sit bottom of the group following a 4-1 loss to Norway. The France vs Iraq betting odds reflect the gulf in class, with France as short as -1000 to win.

France hold three points from one game and sit second in Group I on goal difference behind Norway. Iraq are pointless and have already conceded four goals. With qualification for the knockout rounds requiring a top-two finish, Iraq face a near-impossible task against one of the tournament favorites. France’s outright World Cup winner price sits at +400, ranking them as the market leader across 48 teams.
