Their attacking output dwarfs Iraq's, averaging 11.5 shots per match compared to a meagre 7.5, and the absence of Aymen Hussein and Mohanad Ali strips Iraq of their primary goal threats. Al-Hamadi will carry a heavy burden up front. Senegal's defensive frailties make <strong>over 2.5 goals<\/strong> at 1.53 an appealing secondary selection. Both teams to score at <a class=\"mux-odd mux-odd--link\" href=\"https:\/\/thefootballfaithful.com\/betting-news\/go-betfred-prono-gb-en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-m=\"x_senegal_iraq_19609195\" data-b=\"betfred.com\" data-t=\"btts_yes\">2.10<\/a> also warrants consideration given Senegal's back-to-back three-goal concessions.
