Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals
We expect a massive game for Iraq here – they are levels above their opponents and based on the performances of the symbolic visitors, we can expect a win with a big margin. We expect no less than two goals from Iraq, possibly three. Of course, it will be good if Yemen help out with a goal too but we do not see how it will happen here.
Both Teams To Score Prediction: No
As mentioned above, we do not see how Yemen will score in this match. Yes, they managed to find the net twice against Oman but this is a different kind of an opponent and Iraq are much stronger defensively. They have not conceded goals in four consecutive matches and even against Saudi Arabia the other day.
Correct Score Prediction: 3:0 to Iraq
As explained above, we think that Iraq should be able to score two of three goals minimum in this match. Yemen have lost eight of their last ten games in all tournaments and they managed to score goals in only one of those ten games overall. This should be an easy match for Iraq.
Iraq vs Yemen: Form, Recent Games, and News
Iraq Preview
Iraq are not such a bad national team despite the fact that the country is in no shape for football development or anything similar. Nevertheless, Iraq have been improving and the team may have what it takes to contest for the Gulf Cup. They won against one of the best teams in the region – Saudi Arabia, and they may be considered as one of the main contenders now.
Yemen Preview
Yemen are one of the current-weakest national teams in the entire world. They are currently ranked 154th in the world. They have a single win in the last 15 games in all tournaments and it was against Palestine. They lost almost all games after that and do not have a win since November 2019. They had also not scored a goal since that period either until their last match last week.
