Bahrain created a sensation in the first round by beating Saudi Arabia. Although the level of the national team has improved considerably in recent years, Bahrain should not be underestimated.
Iraq also won the first round, although the team played against modest Yemen, which was initially considered a clear outsider. And even the victory over such a simple opponent was given to Iraq with great difficulty, although the national team brought almost the main squad (making rotation only the goalkeeper and in defence).
Bahrain is an uncomfortable opponent for Iraq (for 5 years the national teams have met each other 5 times, and Iraq has never managed to win).
Prediction: Bahrain double chance. We recommend the “1X” bet, odds 1.59
