Iraq

Norway

Over 3.5 Match Goals

Reason for tip

Norway produced the strongest qualifying effort of any European nation, winning all of their eight contests and scoring an unmatched 37 goals in the process. Iraq are unlikely to be able to compete with the attacking strength of the Red, White and Blue.

Norway 4-0

Reason for tip

Norway were able to score seven goals in two qualifying games against a talented Italy side and Iraq have a serious job on their hands trying to keep Haaland and co quiet. There will only be moderate heat in Foxborough on Tuesday, which should allow Norway to implement their high-tempo play and a rampant Red, White and Blue success looks likely.

Norway can send a warning to World Cup rivals

Norway meet Iraq in Foxborough, Massachusetts with the two teams drawn alongside France and Senegal in a red-hot World Cup group.

The Red, White and Blue are just 25-1 to win the North America extravaganza, and if they are able to get Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard firing, they could well be extremely dangerous opponents.

No side in Europe scored more than Norway’s 37 qualifying goals and Stale Solbakken’s men beat Italy 4-1 and 3-0 to win all of their eight qualification matches.

It’s extremely difficult to see how Iraq can compete in this spot and Norway’s 5-0 and 11-1 qualifying hammerings of Moldova, indicate that the Red, White and Blue are not interested in easing up once they hit the front.

The Lions of Mesopotamia could well be heading for zero points in a tough group and Graham Arnold’s men may have a job just keeping the contest with Norway competitive.

There are options on the handicap, to win to nil and double result, but an over 3.5 goals punt would cover a wide-margin Norway success, while a fortunate Iraq strike is actually a boost to backers, rather than a hindrance, unlike many other markets.
