Senegal 3-1 Iraq · Sarr scores · Mane involved · Iraq consolation 🇸🇳 3–1 🇮🇶

Both teams are eliminated, but incentives diverge. Senegal can still mathematically chase a best third-place finish with a big enough victory. Racing Post: "Senegal showed some promising signs — Ismaila Sarr came up with two superb finishes against Norway, ensuring that the game remained in the balance until the final whistle."

Iraq have been outclassed. They've conceded 7 goals in 2 games, and their only tournament scorer (Aymen Hussein) is possibly absent. Sports Mole: "Hussein's possible absence would be a major blow — he netted eight times in qualifying and has scored Iraq's only goal at the 2026 finals."

Sportsgambler: "Senegal can take advantage of a substantial drop in class by sweeping aside Iraq." Racing Post primary: Senegal -1 handicap. Prediction: Senegal 3-1 Iraq — Sarr, Mane/Jackson and a late Iraq consolation.

⚠️ Projected · ❌ Mendy GK OUT confirmed ESPN · Sarr 2 goals vs NOR · Mbaye 18yo PSG scored vs FRA from bench · Mane all-time SEN scorer

Lineups primary bet: "SEN/IRQ BTTS Yes (+115). Senegal has also allowed Over 2.5 goals to opponents in 3 of 4 matches — so one allowed goal is possible even as Senegal win comfortably." Iraq showed willingness to attack in their 4-1 loss to Norway. Even against Senegal, their counter-attack and set-piece delivery means one goal isn't impossible. $10→$21.50.

Racing Post 2-point primary tip: "Senegal -1 on handicap." The prediction across consensus sources is a comfortable Senegal victory by 2+ goals. Iraq are conceding at historic rates (7 in 2 games) and Senegal have three-plus attacking options that simply dwarf Iraq's defensive capabilities. Check FD for the handicap line and price.
