Iraq vs Bahrain prediction
Iraq are a team who are forcing football fans across the world to sit up and take notice. They'll want to make a statement in the FIFA Arab Cup, that they are capable of a deep run in a major tournament ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup next summer in the USA, Canada and Mexico. Expect a highly confident side to come out of the traps quickly against Bahrain in an attempt to seize control of the contest early on.
Bahrain aren't a side to be slept upon and have picked up some notable results across all competitions over the past 18 months, beating the likes of Saudi Arabia and Australia. It would be no shock if they were to fashion some big opportunities themselves here and backing both teams to score warrants serious consideration.
Iraq vs Bahrain tip: Both teams to score
