APWin Prediction

Under 2.5 Goals

After a thorough assessment of the primary betting markets, APWin analysts have identified bets with strong value potential.

👉 Our prediction is: Iraq win or draw

Even though Iraq will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on Iraq to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.

Iraq does have its share of flaws, but Saudi Arabia has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to Iraq.

👉 Our prediction is: Saudi Arabia to win the 1st half

While the half-time market is not a particularly popular betting market, it does provide a good deal of value. And this is true for Saudi Arabia vs Iraq, where we have Saudi Arabia to win the first half as our best bet.

Saudi Arabia has been quite a fast starter at home as they quickly put the pressure on their visitors in the opening minutes. That strategy should lead to a Saudi Arabia taking an advantage into half-time.
