Senegal and Iraq meet at BMO Field in Toronto on June 26 with both sides eliminated from the knockout race after two defeats apiece in Group I. The match is a dead rubber in terms of advancement, but Senegal enter as heavy favorites on the Senegal vs Iraq betting odds, priced at -375 with BetOnline and Lucky Rebel. The central question is whether Senegal can find a convincing final group stage performance against an Iraq side that has conceded seven goals in two games.
Senegal’s qualifying record ahead of this tournament told a story of dominance in CAF, producing five wins and one draw across six matches with 16 goals scored and just two conceded. That efficiency has not carried into the group stage, where losses to France (1-3) and Norway (2-3) ended any realistic qualification hope. Iraq, making only their second World Cup appearance after 1986, were beaten 4-1 by Norway and 3-0 by France. The Senegal vs Iraq prediction market heavily favors the African side to close their campaign with three points.
