Norway are heavy favourites to beat Iraq in the opening round. Erling Haaland is more than capable of scoring goals against a modest Iraq side. Let's not forget that Norway defeated Italy 4–1 in the qualifiers, which highlights their attacking strength. I think we could see at least three goals in this clash.

Three of the last four league meetings between these two sides have ended 0–0. Azam and Mashujaa are both among the teams with the most draws in the league this season.

Both teams should be highly motivated to win their first game of the tournament. Both sides have excellent attacking players, so I expect plenty of goals in this clash. Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, and Michael Olise can score for France. Senegal also have Nicolas Jackson, Ismaïla Sarr, and Sadio Mané—

Zalgiris have accumulated just six points more than Panevezys. Both teams have drawn three games so far this season. Panevezys won 2-1 in their most recent meeting with Zalgiris, with the decisive goal coming late in the game.

Five goals were scored in three of the last four league meetings between Värnamo and Helsingborg. Helsingborg drew 3-3 with Norrby last month.

Mexico scored 5 goals in their most recent friendly game against Serbia. They are strong favourites to win against South Africa in the World Cup opening game, and I expect a spectacular match with at least 5 goals.

Nordic United defeated Brage 1-0 in their most recent home game. Ostersunds lost 1-0 to Oddevold in their last away game.

Norrkoping are unbeaten in the last five rounds. They drew 0-0 against Brage three matches ago. Oddevold have not conceded in their last home game.

Varnamo are winless in their last six rounds. They drew 2-2 three games ago. Osters have drawn twice in their opening ten matches.

Falkenberg have lost just one game in the first ten rounds, so the visitors will be hard to beat today. Sandviken have drawn three matches in the first ten rounds.
