Venue: Toronto Stadium, Toronto
Toronto Stadium stages Senegal vs Iraq in Toronto, Ontario. FIFA uses the tournament venue name Toronto Stadium, while public listings also identify the venue as BMO Field. The local 15:00 start gives both teams a final Group I stage in Canada.
France and Norway complete Group I, with their match deciding first place while Senegal and Iraq chase pride and possible third-place hope. The Toronto setting also matters for fan planning and team tempo. Supporters should confirm tickets, parking, public transport, gate timing, and stadium rules through official event channels before travelling.
Predicted Lineups
The Senegal vs Iraq lineups remain projected until official team sheets arrive. Senegal are expected in a 4-3-3, with Gueye, Pape Matar Sarr, Camara, Ismaila Sarr, Mane, and Jackson shaping the main plan. Iraq are projected in a 4-2-3-1, with Al Ammari, Zidane Iqbal, Ali Jasim, Youssef Amyn, and Aymen Hussein carrying the core threat.
| Team | Probable Shape | Projected XI |
|---|---|---|
| Senegal | 4-3-3 | M. Diaw; K. Diatta; K. Koulibaly; M. Niakhate; I. Jakobs; I. Gueye; P. M. Sarr; L. Camara; I. Sarr; N. Jackson; S. Mane |
| Iraq | 4-2-3-1 | J. Hassan; H. Ali; R. Sulaka; S. Natiq; M. Doski; A. Al Ammari; Z. Iqbal; I. Bayesh; Y. Amyn; A. Jasim; A. Hussein |
These lineups should be treated as matchday projections, not confirmed selections. Senegal need a goalkeeper change because Edouard Mendy is reported out with a knee injury. Iraq also need to check Aymen Hussein, who came off early against France and remains central to their scoring route.

Senegal Preview
Senegal enter ranked No. 15 in the 11 June FIFA men’s ranking and carry a last-five form line of L-L-D-L-W. They lost 3-1 to France and 3-2 to Norway, so this match is now about turning attacking moments into a win. Senegal need cleaner rest defence because Iraq will look for direct counters.
Pape Thiaw can build the plan around Koulibaly, Gueye, Camara, Ismaila Sarr, Mane, and Jackson. Senegal’s best route is fast wide pressure followed by early shots around the box. The main defensive task is preventing Iraq from winning set pieces and second balls.
Senegal Current Form and Key Players
Ismaila Sarr is Senegal’s key route because his right-channel speed, direct shooting, and late penalty-area runs can break a compact block. Mane gives the attack experience, while Jackson adds pressing and central movement. Senegal need fast wide attacks, better rest defence, and sharper finishing because only a win keeps their third-place route alive.
Iraq Preview
Iraq enter ranked No. 57 in the 11 June FIFA men’s ranking and carry a last-five form line of L-L-L-D-W. They lost 4-1 to Norway and 3-0 to France, so defensive structure is the first priority. Iraq need a strong opening half because chasing the game would expose their back line.
Graham Arnold can build attacks through Zidane Iqbal, Ali Jasim, Youssef Amyn, Ibrahim Bayesh, and Hussein if the striker is cleared. Iraq’s best route is compact defending followed by direct balls into the striker and wide runners. The main defensive task is stopping Senegal from creating repeated one-on-one attacks.
Iraq Current Form and Key Players
Aymen Hussein gives Iraq their main box presence, aerial duels, and direct finishing route if he is fit enough to start. Zidane Iqbal can help Iraq escape pressure, while Ali Jasim offers carrying power from wide spaces. Iraq need a compact block, set-piece threat, and cleaner first passes because their defensive numbers leave no margin.
Match Prediction
The Senegal vs Iraq prediction is Senegal 3-1 Iraq. The probability split is 61 percent Senegal, 22 percent draw, and 17 percent Iraq. The confidence level is 61 percent because Senegal have defensive issues, yet Iraq’s group defensive record is weaker.
FIFA’s 11 June ranking lists Senegal 15th and Iraq 57th. Senegal have scored three goals in Group I, while Iraq have scored once. Iraq have conceded seven goals across two group matches, so Senegal have the stronger attacking case. Iraq can challenge the pick if Hussein starts and Senegal lose control around set pieces. Senegal deserve the edge because Sarr, Mane, and Jackson give them more routes to shots.

The Senegal vs Iraq head to head record is limited because available senior data does not show a previous meeting. Current form, ranking, injury status, and group pressure carry the analysis. Senegal have more attacking evidence, while Iraq need a slower, lower-scoring match.
