FIFA World Cup 26™: What to look out for in Senegal v Iraq 🇮🇶🇸🇳 | OneFootball

Toronto Stadium is the venue on Friday as Senegal meet Iraq with FIFA World Cup 26™ qualification up for grabs.

This is everything you need to know about the Group I clash.

Who is playing today? 👀

Senegal face Iraq in Group I with both nations still looking for their first wins of the campaign following defeats to France and Norway for both in their opening games.

However, there is still hope that a win for either could lead to qualification as one of the best third-placed sides.

For both sides the equation is simple. A draw does nothing for either, while a defeat would condemn the loser to fourth place and elimination, while the victor would face a nervous wait and a slim chance of sneaking through.

Players to watch 🔥

Senegal's star youngster Ibrahim Mbaye already became the youngest ever African scorer at a World Cup™ with his strike against France on matchday one, which helped him receive a 6.7 Attacking Score in the FIFA Power Rankings - powered by Aramco.

Outdoing him in game two, Ismaïla Sarr received an Attacking Score of 7.2 thanks to his brace against Norway, although it wasn't enough to prevent them falling to a 3-2 loss, the same game in which Moussa Niakhaté had the highest Defending Score of any player on the park with 6.9.

Aymen Hussein has scored Iraq's only goal of the competition so far, his equaliser against Norway seeing him receive an Attacking Score of 7.0 for their opening game, the same fixture in which Amir Al-Ammari had a Creative Score of 8.1, the same number as team-mate Ali Jasim.
