Saudi Arabia, in turn, are on 11-match undefeated run before the clash with Iraq as the most recent loss was suffered in January 2015. Eight matches of the second qualifying stage got the team 20 points with 28-4 aggregate goal difference. The first round of the last qualifying stage against Thailand got Saudi Arabia three points, 1-0.
Saudi Arabia have advantage in the head-to-heads with Iraq. The teams rarely combine over two goals in their matches as only one time in their last eight games against each other they scored over 2 goals on aggregate. We should expect upcoming head-to-head to be also a low-scoring match.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
