Match Preview
This Group I contest sees France paired against Iraq. France will aim to establish early control, while Iraq looks to use pace and directness to disrupt their rhythm. In Group I, every point matters — even a third-place finish can secure a place in the Round of 32 if the record is strong enough relative to the other groups. Neither team can be counted out based on the current information, making this one of the more unpredictable fixtures.
