Personal Analysis: Many players in the Iraqi team play in the second and third tier leagues in Europe. The players' confrontation and physical abilities have certain advantages in Asia, but the striker lacks a relatively stable ball holding point and attacking point. In the previous games, except for Atwan, Jasim, and Bayesh, who have outstanding ability to create opportunities in offense, the other players' technical abilities are average, but the team's ability to grab points and compete for headers in the front area is not bad. The team's midfield and backcourt have certain interception and pressing abilities, and the backcourt has medium and long pass counterattack abilities, but the accuracy of the pass is average, and most of the time it is not as good as the individual wingers' advancement effect on the wing. There are not many ways to defend against technical forwards, and it is easy to miss people once they assist in defense. Most of the players in the South Korean team are currently playing in the mainstream European leagues, especially Lee Kang-in, Kim Min-jae, Son Heung-min and others, who are all big-name players. They have more ball holding points and finishing points on the front line, and they play more quality in both positional warfare and quick counterattacks in the midfield and backcourt. At present, only Japan can suppress South Korea in the Asian region, and it is difficult for other teams to win against South Korea. In particular, most of the players in the South Korean team have good technical ability at their feet, and their physical confrontation ability in Europe is not inferior to other teams. As long as the team plays steadily, it will have a better chance of winning against most teams.

At present, the direct qualification of Group B is uncertain. In theory, South Korea, Jordan, Iraq, and Oman will have it, and the South Korean team only needs to win the next game to determine the direct qualification, while Iraq needs at least one win and one draw to ensure the qualification. In terms of pressure, Iraq will be more pressured, after all, there is no guarantee of victory in the next game against Jordan. The forwards on the Korean side are better than Iraq in ball-holding and passing. Iraq's offense is hard to find good offensive opportunities except for counterattacks and scuffles in front of the goal. In this game, Iraq's home concedes 0.25 goals, which is normal. From the current data, the support of the organization for the Korean team is relatively limited, especially considering that the Korean team's lineup has not been complete in recent times, and the local temperature in Iraq is currently very high. Lao Li predicts that it will be difficult for the Korean team to get all three points away from home, and the score is expected to be 0-0 or 1-1.
