Iraq, on the other hand, have a solid recent form and scored in their last friendly against Spain in 2009. Spain’s dominant recent performances and Iraqi defensive discipline suggest a tightly contested match, with Spain slightly more likely to secure a positive result.

Spain are likely to field a strong squad with key attackers like Borja Iglesias and Lamine Yamal supported by an organized midfield led by Pedri and Rodri.

Injuries are minimal, but expect both teams to test younger players to assess squad depth.

Spain’s tactical setup with a 4-2-3-1 formation emphasizes possession, pressing, and organized attack, which should translate into numerous goal-scoring opportunities.

The game might feature a high tempo in the first half, with Spain seeking to break down Iraq’s organized defense quickly. Expect set pieces to be pivotal, given Spain’s aerial threat and Iraq’s commitment to defensive discipline.

If Spain scores first in the upcoming match against Iraq at the Estadio Municipal de Riazor, they are likely to control the game given their recent form and previous head-to-head success. An early goal could open space for more opportunities. If the match remains level at halftime, expect Spain to press for a second goal, considering their strong attack and Iraq’s defensive resilience. Late goals are usually crucial in these friendlies, and Spain’s recent scoring patterns suggest a higher chance of a late goal to seal the victory.
