Match Overview

France’s second group game should be a comfortable win to confirm qualification. Iraq have been competitive in qualification games but face an enormous quality gap against France. Mbappé, even at 70% fitness and effort, creates and scores at this level. France should win comfortably and rotate their squad to prepare for the knockout rounds.

Our Prediction

Got The Odds Prediction — Group I · Mon 22 Jun 2026
30

France are overwhelming favourites against Iraq. Mbappé, Griezmann and the French squad should win emphatically and confirm their qualification. Deschamps may rotate slightly with top spot likely already secured.
