France vs. Iraq World Cup Predictions June 22 Game Result Pick
France is primed to dismantle Iraq and easily cover the 2.5-goal spread as favorites on Monday.
Motivated to overtake Norway on goal differential atop Group I, Les Bleus will exploit an Iraqi defense that just allowed 4 goals in their opening match. Tactically, France’s blistering pace is a nightmare matchup for Iraq's frail backline.
Kylian Mbappé, fresh off a brace against Senegal that made him France’s all-time top male scorer, forms a lethal attacking trio with Michael Olise and Bradley Barcola.
With France scoring multiple goals in 13 of their last 14 matches, expect a relentless, high-scoring masterclass.
Pick: France -2.5 (-135)

Norway vs. Senegal World Cup Predictions June 22 Game Result Pick
Norway is perfectly positioned to secure an outright victory and comfortably cover the 0.5-goal spread as favorites against Senegal on Monday.
Propelled by their dominant 4-1 opening win over Iraq, the Norwegians carry immense momentum into this critical Group I clash. Senegal arrives reeling after being dismantled 3-1 by France, and their vulnerable defense will find no relief against Erling Haaland.
The unstoppable striker, boasting 57 goals in 51 appearances and scoring in 11 consecutive national matches, will mercilessly exploit Senegal's backline. With Norway eyeing a top-of-the-group showdown with France, expect a decisive, clinical victory.
Pick: Norway -0.5 (+115)

Jordan vs. Algeria World Cup Predictions June 22 Game Result Pick
Algeria is well-positioned to cover the 0.5-goal spread and secure an outright win against Jordan on Monday night in Santa Clara.
Desperate to bounce back after a tough opening loss to Argentina, Vladimir Petkovic’s squad boasts vastly superior European-based talent and boasts a World Cup pedigree.
Jordan's frail defense, which has conceded at least 2 goals in each of their last 6 matches and just conceded 3 to Austria, is a prime target for Algeria’s dynamic attack.
With Jordan reeling on a 6-match winless streak, expect Algeria to exploit some wide defensive gaps and claim a vital, tournament-saving Group J victory.
Pick: Algeria -0.5 (-190)
