France open their World Cup campaign against Iraq at Lincoln Financial Field on June 22, a group-stage clash carrying real weight. Didier Deschamps leads Les Bleus into his final tournament as manager, while Iraq return to the world stage for the first time in four decades. The home win sits at 1.08<\/a>, reflecting France's clear superiority.<\/p>

Projected final score: 3-0<\/h3>

France are the clear favourites here, and 1.08<\/a> reflects a side that dismantled UEFA Group D qualifying with a 7W-1D-0L record, scoring 22 goals and conceding just 5. Iraq, making their first World Cup appearance in 40 years<\/strong>, arrive on the back of an LDL run and have no competitive experience against elite opposition at this level.<\/p>

A high-scoring, one-sided affair is the most logical outcome. France's attacking trio of Mbappé, Dembélé, and Olise gives Deschamps a relentless front line, while Iraq's structural fragility in a 4-2-3-1 offers little protection. With Iraq unlikely to trouble Maignan, 1.36<\/a> aligns well with a clean-sheet victory for Les Bleus.<\/p>
