Syria vs Iraq: Top Free Betting Tips

Syria have no chances to qualify even with their recent surpising win over Lebanon. Iraq, however, need the three points here as they are just 1 point below 3rd place, which will send them to the fourth stage in the qualifications.

Total Goals – Under 2.5

Iraq are higher in the standings in the group but they are still the lowest-scoring team – Syria have scored almost double the goals. Overall, both teams have not been great and they have problems in attack. The first game between them ended in a 1:1 draw and we expect the same result here although Iraq will be motivated to win this. They have scored 5 goals in 9 fixtures, which shows how bad their attack is and we do not expect more than 1-2 goals from them.

Match Result – Draw

Syria might be the weakest team in the group but they surprised us with their most recent performance when they beat Lebanon with 0:3. Iraq have been slightly better in terms of not losing but their attack has serious issues and if Syria perform well again, we expect to see a draw at best. Iraq need the three points but they haven't showed us anything on the road and they did not win any of their four previous matches.

Away Team Exact Goals – Iraq 1 Goal

Once again, we will bet on goals and against the expectations as Iraq are the favorites to win this match. As explained above, their attack has been terrible – just five goals in nine fixtures. They scored more than one goal in just one of their four fixtures on the road in the Third Stage of qualifications and we do not expect to see them score twice here. Syria might have the weakest defense but they will not hold back even though this match has no meaning for them.

Syria vs Iraq: Form, Recent Games, and News

Syria Preview

Nobody expected Syria to succeed in these qualifiers and they didn't – they struggled against all opponents apart from Lebanon, the other weakest side in the group. They managed to win their first match in the previous fixture last week. Even though they are at the bottom, they have the third-best attack in the group, which is surprising but a fact. We know that they can score goals and their main problem is the defense.

Iraq Preview

Iraq are one point below the crucial third place in the group, which will send them to the fourth and final stage, which will determine the last teams to participate in the World Cup. Their goal difference after nine rounds is 5:11, which is almost the worst out of all. They struggle on the road and are the only team in the group without a win away from home.
