Tensions run high as Palestine and Iraq prepare to meet again, 5 months after the previous World cup Qualifying 3rd round encounter that concluded in a 1-0 victory for Iraq. Palestine come into this match following a defeat to Jordan on March 20, looking to bounce back with a stronger performance, as they look to break a nine-match winless run. Resolving issues at the back will be vital for improvement, particularly since their defense has shown cracks, with goals conceded across six consecutive matches.
Iraq approach this clash having drawn with Kuwait on March 20, bringing their unbeaten streak to two. Their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last three matches.
This World cup Qualifying 3rd round clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for Palestine National Football Team and Iraq National Football Team in this campaign.

Mus'ab Al Battat, Tamer Seyam and Zaid Al Qanbar have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Palestine’s attack.
Meanwhile, Iraq’s offensive unit, crafted under Juan Carlos Garcia’s leadership, has leaned on Aymen Hussein, their main scorer, and Ali Jasim, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Hussein leads Iraq’s scoring charts in World cup Qualifying 3rd round this season with two goals, while Jasim has been their leading creator in the competition with two assists.
