France, the 2022 FIFA World Cup finalist, faces Iraq in a FIFA 2026 qualifying match after defeating Senegal 3-1, with star player Kylian Mbappe expected to feature.

On the other side, Iraq faced a humiliating 4-1 defeat vs Norway in the opening game, and now, they have a bigger challenger France to face. However, every match starts with a 50-50 possibility and if Iraq wins tonight, it would be not less then a Shocker.
