Opening odds for France vs. Iraq in the FIFA 2026 World Cup

France and Iraq had very different starts to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and that reflects in the odds for their second Group I match.

France opened its tournament with a 3-1 win over Senegal, getting two goals from Kylian Mbappé and another from Bradley Barcola after a slow first half. Iraq, meanwhile, lost 4-1 to Norway in its opener despite briefly making things interesting with an Aymen Hussein equalizer before halftime.

France and Iraq will meet Monday, June 22 at 5 p.m. ET at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. DraftKings Sportsbook has opening odds for the Group I matchup.

2026 World Cup Odds for France vs. Iraq

France is a massive favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook, sitting at -1100 on the 90-minute Moneyline. Iraq is +2500 to pull off the upset, while the draw is listed at +850.

The total is set at 3.5 goals, with the over priced at -105 and the under at -120. France also enters as a heavy spread favorite at -2.5, which tracks with both the talent gap and the way Iraq struggled to hold up defensively against Norway.

France can put itself in excellent position to advance with another win, while Iraq needs a response after giving up four goals in its opener. The matchup is heavily tilted toward France, but Iraq’s first match did at least show it can create moments if it gets chances to play forward.
