Combo Double chance : Senegal or draw and +1.5 goals

Senegal has been in a tough spell recently, losing their last three matches, including their two most recent games in the World Cup. They have conceded at least three goals in each of those defeats, which suggests their defense is struggling. On the other hand, Iraq has also had mixed results, with a heavy loss in their last game but a strong win before that. Their recent matches have seen plenty of goals, with high-scoring affairs for both sides.

This looks like a close match, but Senegal's poor form and defensive issues give Iraq a good chance to take advantage. The game is likely to be open and feature goals, making it a tricky one to call. Senegal will be desperate to turn things around, but given their recent struggles, a draw or a narrow win for Iraq seems the most realistic outcome.
