Game Prediction
In the 8th round of World Cup qualification in Asia on March 25, 2025, a match between the national teams of Palestine and Iraq will take place. In a formally away game, the nominal visitors are aiming for victory.
Our forecast for the match Palestine vs Iraq
Palestine performed well in last year's Asian Cup. They started with a loss to Iran, but a draw with the UAE and a win over Hong Kong sent them to the playoffs. There, the team faced the host of the tournament, Qatar, and unsurprisingly lost. Iraq showed a perfect result in the group stage, defeating even Japan, but then immediately lost 2-3 to Jordan.
In the 2024 qualification, Palestine managed three draws at this level. They took points from the favorite, South Korea, twice. The Iraqis generally held up well in the autumn, winning half of their matches and losing only to the Koreans.
In this "window", the underdog started with an away game against neighboring Jordan. They conceded twice by the eleventh minute and, although they responded with a goal in the first half, ultimately lost 1-3. Jesus Casas's team faced a principled opponent, Kuwait. They managed to snatch a draw, even though they were losing 0-2 past the 90th minute!
