Iraq vs Palestine Prediction and Match Preview

Iraq vs Palestine Prediction

Iraq had an impressive start to this season as they won and draw one apiece of their two games in the WC qualifiers. They will enter the third round following a goalless draw against Kuwait and will be hoping to regain their positive run. Do also note that Iraq had a five-match winning streak before recording the goalless draw against Kuwait.

They will play host to Palestine in the third round of qualifiers and the guests are having a four-match winless streak across all competitions and this stretch includes two qualifier games. Palestine will enter this match following a 1-3 defeat against Jordan.

Moving on, Iraq can also rely on the recent tradition since they have a 100% unbeaten streak against Kuwait in the head-to-head. They are on a four-match winning streak against Kuwait and has kept a clean sheet in six of their past seven clashes. Do also note that Iraq won five of their total six clashes against Kuwait with hosting advantage.

Iraq’s often recording with a home jersey has always been a win. They won eight of the past 10 home outings and the impressive contribution from their offensive and defensive line is a noteworthy stat. In fact, Iraq bagged a 1-0 win twice in the past three home outings.

On the other hand, Palestine have a disappointing form on the road as they won just twice in the past 12 road trips. Do also note that the matches they won on the road in that period were against Bangladesh and Hong Kong.

Additionally, Iraq has netted 3 goals while allowing in the past three under 2.5 goal h2h clashes against Palestine at home. Since Palestine have a disappointing defensive line, we expect two unanswered goals from Iraq on Thursday. Under 2.5 goals is another fitting tip for this game.
