Iraq faces Syria in round 5 of the third stage of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, November 11th at Thani bin Jassim Stadium (Doha)
In general, it may seem that the Iraqi national team has always been very weak, but this is not nearly so. Once the team played at the World Championship, and it also had a victory in the Asian Cup. Now the Lions of Mesopotamia are in fifth place in the qualification group standings. It will be very difficult to get to the World Cup in Qatar, but there is no doubt that the Iraqi national team will put up a fight. In the last round, the team tied against the UAE away (2-2).

The Syrian national team has never played at the World Cup. And the Qasioun Eagles have tense relations with the Asian Cup. Now the Syrians are in last place in the qualifying group. Of course, it is unlikely that the Syrian national team will be able to go to Qatar, as it simply does not have such resources. This can be seen even in those matches when the other team does not have a great advantage. In the last match, the Syrian national team lost at home to the Lebanese national team (2-3).
The last head-to-head match between these teams turned out to be rather boring. As a result, the teams played a goalless draw, so now, one might say, they will try to play more interesting football than in that game. The Iraqi national team is considered the favorite. Still, the team is more skilled and plays very well at home. At the same time, the Qasioun Eagles will do everything to leave the last place, and they will face a direct competitor, so the game will be hot. Thus, my prediction for this match is Over 2.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored
