Archived pre-match analysis

This analysis was prepared before kick-off. The conclusions use only information available before the match and do not include the final result or post-match statistics.

General match analysis

Typ: 1. France defeated Senegal 3:1 and showed great offensive potential and quality of changes. Iraq lost 1-4 to Norway, but he scored a goal himself, so we are not lowering his threat to zero. France remains the clear favorite, although the spaces given to Senegal warn against too automatic prediction of clean sheets. The model estimates the odds at 78% for France, 15% for a tie and 7% for Iraq. The most probable is the controlled success of France, but a very short rate does not compensate for the risk of rotation and a single error. Status: NOBET

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

Pick: BTTS No. France defeated Senegal 3:1 and showed great offensive potential and quality of changes. Iraq lost 1-4 to Norway, but he scored a goal himself, so we are not lowering his threat to zero. France remains the clear favorite, although the spaces given to Senegal warn against being too automatic in predicting a clean sheet. The model sees a more likely scenario without either side scoring, with xG 2.50 to 0.65. The odds are 44% for BTTS Yes and 56% for BTTS No. Iraq scored a goal against Norway, and France allowed Senegal to have good opportunities, so the advantage of BTTS No is not sufficient to play at the same rate. Status: NOBET

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Pick: Over 2.5. The model gives 61% on Over 2.5 and 39% on Under 2.5, with xG France 2.50, Iraq 0.65 and 3.15 combined. France defeated Senegal 3:1 and showed great offensive potential and quality of changes. Iraq lost 1-4 to Norway, but he scored a goal himself, so we are not lowering his threat to zero. France remains the clear favorite, although the spaces given to Senegal warn against being too automatic in predicting a clean sheet. Line 2.5 is the most sensitive to run: a 2-0 score leaves the under, and a goal from the underdog often immediately moves the game to the over. France can get close to three goals on its own, but once it takes the lead it also has the ability to control the momentum. Status: BET

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Pick: 1/1. France defeated Senegal 3:1 and showed great offensive potential and quality of changes. Iraq lost 1-4 to Norway, but he scored a goal himself, so we are not lowering his threat to zero. France remains the clear favorite, although the spaces given to Senegal warn against being too automatic in predicting a clean sheet. The 1X2 model is 78%-15%-7% and xG France 2.50 and Iraq 0.65. The highest rated HT/FT tracks are 1/1 47%, X/1 28% and X/X 9%. We assume that the host team can take the lead before the break and maintain the advantage thanks to greater quality or depth in the squad. HT/FT remains a high variance market, so the status is lower than with basic 1X2. Status: BET
