Iraq Form Guide
Graham Arnold’s Iraq will be favored in their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia. The nation will be aiming to reach their first edition of the competition since 1986.
Iraq’s form dipped at the end of last year, losing successive matches without scoring against Algeria and Jordan. The nation also failed to win in two of their last three qualification matches.
Playing on the road hasn’t suited Iraq, as they have won just two of their last six. Offensively, they have been poor on their travels, scoring just 0.67 goals per game since the start of last year.
Player to Watch
Ayman Hussein will be an important player for Iraq. The striker has scored 32 goals in 92 international appearances. The 30-year-old has also scored four goals in eight fixtures for Al-Karma in 2025-26.
Bolivia Form Guide
South American nation Bolivia will have their sights set on reaching a third World Cup this week.
The nation haven’t reached the major tournament since exiting in the group stage in 1994. In qualification, Bolivia won seven of their 19 fixtures, scoring an impressive 19 goals but allowing a high of 36.
Bolivia showcased their quality in the playoff semi-final, landing a 2-1 win over Suriname.
Player to Watch
Enzo Monteiro is one of Bolivia’s most exciting young stars. The 21-year-old has scored two in 12 international appearances and netted five goals in 2024-25 for Latvian club Auda.
Iraq vs. Bolivia Picks
Bolivia aren’t as prolific when playing outside of their home country. Therefore, a well-rested Iraq should be primed to secure their spot in this summer’s World Cup.
