Spain vs Iraq prediction

Luis de la Fuente and his Spain side head into this one on the back of an unconvincing goalless draw with Egypt in the March international break, a few days after they hammered Serbia by three goals to nil, having qualified with ease.

Under the management of former Australia boss Graham Arnold, Iraq qualified for the FIFA World Cup by coming from behind to defeat South American minnows Bolivia in the Inter-Confederation Playoffs a few months ago.

Iraq are an average side and will likely struggle at this summer’s tournament with a comfortable and heavy Spanish victory to be expected at Riazor in A Coruna.
