Bahrain vs Iraq betting predictions: Bookie-underdogs Bahrain might win again

The two sides have recently met each other. On 14 August, it was the WAFF Championship, where Bahrain faced Iraq. Back then, it was Bahrain who emerged victorious, despite the fact that all online sportsbooks in Bahrain expected Iraq to win. Before that, the two sides faced off in 2017, 2014 and twice in 2013. Iraq failed to win a single one of these games. Based on this, we can expect them to be incapable of starting off the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers by beating Bahrain.

Players to watch at Bahrain v Iraq: Bahrain international in the Champions League?

Both national teams lack foreign experience. Most of their international stars play for their respective domestic leagues. However, there are some players who made it to stronger championships. At this point, we must mention the MLS player Justin Meram, who plays for Atlanta United. However, the most interesting player to watch could be Bahrain’s 25-year-old striker, Abdulla Yusuf Helal. The Bahrain international recently joined FK Slavia Praha. They bought him from Bohemians after his outstanding 2018/19 season. So, we might even see the Bahrain international in this season’s UEFA Champions League tournament. Helal took up the national shirt 40 times already. He netted 5 times only, so he will only hope to add more against Iraq in the World Cup Qualifiers.
