Spain vs Iraq Moneyline Prediction

Stranger things have happened in international soccer, but it would be an absolute shocker if Spain doesn’t win this game.

The European giants are widely regarded as one of the strongest sides and should be seen as title contenders if they stay healthy, largely due to their squad depth and enviable attacking options. The team are also unbeaten in their last eight matches, including six wins.

Playing against Iraq might seem like an odd choice, but with La Furia Roja set to face Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia in the group stage, this fixture could provide a useful indication of the type of challenge those sides may present.

Let’s not forget Saudi Arabia pulled a shocking 2-1 win over Argentina four years ago. Spain will look to avoid that at the start of the World Cup.

Iraq, meanwhile, are grouped with Norway and France, so a clash against the Spaniards could prove equally beneficial for their preparations.

Testing themselves against one of Europe’s elite nations should help them refine their defensive approach ahead of those difficult group-stage encounters. Their chances of pulling off an upset against France and Norway appear slim.

Realistically, they are unlikely to pose much of a threat here, having lost two of their last five games. At best, they’ll sit back and make life difficult for Spain for as long as possible. However, once La Furia Roja find a breakthrough, they should be able to cruise to a comfortable, multi-goal victory.

Spain vs Iraq Player Prop

La Furia Roja will be without Lamine Yamal, so Ferran Torres is expected to start both friendly matches on the right wing, as he’s the natural replacement for the Barcelona star.

Torres should have a prominent role in Spain’s attacking line, as he can also play as a striker in case Mikel Oyarzabal is rested. He is coming off a 16-goal La Liga season and should have plenty of chances to find the back of the net.

Spain vs Iraq Same Game Parlay

Common sense suggests Spain should dominate this game and secure a massive victory. The gulf in talent is just too large to ignore.

Four of their last five matches have seen over 2.5 goals, and La Roja have scored at least three goals in five of their eight outings since the end of the 2024 EUROS. Spain’s dominance should also be reflected early, making a half-time lead a strong possibility.

The over on corners might be the riskiest leg of our three-leg parlay, but in a game where the Spaniards are expected to dominate, they’re likely to put pressure on Iraq’s defensive line and spend most of the time in the opposition’s final third.

If Spain exploit the flanks, which is one of their strengths, this corner line should hit as well.

Spain vs Iraq Team News

Spain Team News 

Spain will be without Yamal, as the star winger is recovering from an injury sustained while playing for FC Barcelona. He’s on a race against time to be fit for the World Cup opener against Cape Verde on June 15, so he won’t be risked at all in this match.

Don’t be surprised if Spain manager Luis de la Fuente chooses to heavily rotate the side here. With the World Cup approaching, this game presents an ideal opportunity to assess different combinations and spread minutes throughout the roster. As a result, La Furia Roja are unlikely to feature their best XI.

Iraq Team News

Iraq will be without Youssef Amyn, who hasn’t played since March as he continues recovering from a hamstring injury. Aside from that absence, however, the team should be close to full strength.

They will see this friendly as an opportunity to test their best XI against an elite opponent, which they don’t often have.
