Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition.

In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Iraq comes motivated to this match after a 1-0 triumph against the United Arab Emirates, thus registering the first victory in this qualifying stage for the 2022 World Cup: the only goal of the match was signed by Hussein Ali. Now, in this match against Syria, Abdul-Ghani Shahad should keep the team in 3-4-3, privileging the maintenance of ball possession and attacks through the flanks. Justim Meram is the highlight of this formation, a very fast player and very strong when he comes to finishing. All players are available for this match.
