Iraq Takes on Norway in the World Cup: Catch Live Score and Match Statistics
Iraq and Norway are set to meet for the first time in a major international tournament at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday. Despite being the underdog, Iraq's chances of causing an upset should not be dismissed, as teams like Cabo Verde, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt have already proven at this World Cup.
Iraq secured its tournament spot by defeating Bolivia 2-1 in the inter-confederation playoffs, but the team has struggled to achieve regular victories in significant matches. In contrast, Norway had a strong European qualifying campaign, including a win over Italy, and possesses the firepower to dominate Iraq.
Erling Haaland will be under scrutiny, having scored 28 goals for Norway in 2024 and 2025, but failing to find the net in his two international appearances this year. Norway's attacking prowess is expected to give Iraq a challenging night.
