Ciaran Doyle gives his best bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Monday\u2019s FIFA World Cup match between France and Iraq.<\/p>\n
Best Bet for France vs. Iraq<\/p>\n
France Win and Over 3.5:<\/a> The French are a top-three team in the tournament and should have no problem with Iraq. When they win, they usually win big, and I expect a similar result on Monday.<\/p>\n The 2026 FIFA World Cup continues on Monday as France takes on Iraq in Group I.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s dive into my favorite bet for this match.<\/p>\n France enters this game ranked second in the FIFA rankings<\/a>, while Iraq comes in at 60th in the world.<\/p>\n This bet can be found under the \u201cMatch Parlays\u201d tab. Four or more goals were scored in each of these teams\u2019 opening matches, but the two squads had far different results. The French were average in the first half against Senegal, but turned it around in the second to get a 3-1 win. Iraq struggled against Norway from the jump, and ultimately fell 4-1. There is a huge gap in quality between these teams, and I fear for Iraq that this could be a very lopsided scoreline. <\/p>\n Four or more goals have been scored in six of France\u2019s last eight games, and they\u2019ve won seven of those. In the two games that did not go over this total, three goals were scored. The French usually play high-scoring affairs, and I\u2019d be shocked if this game was any different. Iraq enters this game having only won two of their last seven games, losing four of those contests.<\/p>\n The French have reached two straight World Cup finals, and I expect a similar deep run in this one. The likes of Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, Michael Olise and Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 are too much for any defense to deal with. Expect a dominant performance from them as they get their second straight win of the tournament. <\/p>\n Best Bet: France Win and Over 3.5 (-110)<\/a><\/p>\n Additional World Cup Coverage<\/p>\n Check out the World Cup landing page<\/a> at DraftKings Network<\/a> for more World Cup content!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ciaran Doyle gives his best bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Monday\u2019s FIFA World Cup match between France and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171377,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[14],"tags":[94,28288],"class_list":["post-171376","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iraq","tag-iraq","tag-rail"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116791518359216663","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171376\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
