Tactical analysis

France is expected to dominate the early phases, utilizing wide overloads to break Iraq's low block. Given France's 2.4 GFA, an opening goal in the [score withheld] minute window is statistically probable. Iraq will likely rely on set-pieces and long-ball transitions. If the match remains [score withheld] at halftime, the 'Under' markets will gain significant value as Iraq's defensive discipline typically holds until the first breach.
