Senegal are without a point on the board after their first two matches at this summer's World Cup - but how unfortunate have they been?
Well, for starters, they were drawn into arguably the most difficult group alongside France and Norway, giving both UEFA nations a good game but having nothing to show for it.
Iraq, then, should provide less of a test, which means Senegal will be eyeing up the chance to put some serious goals past Graham Arnold's side and book their place in the knockouts.

Senegal vs Iraq predictions
Senegal have scored three times at the World Cup and demonstrated a decent attacking threat during their matches against France and Norway.
Defensively, they haven't been great but Iraq are not likely to cause the Senegalese backline too many problems.
That should give the AFCON finalists licence to play with freedom in attack and if they can take the lead early on, there's no telling how many they could put past the Iraqi side.
We're expecting a front-foot performance from Senegal because they need to win and reduce their -3 goal difference if they stand a chance of progressing as one of the eight best third-place teams.
Anything less than victory and it's farewell, North America.
Senegal vs Iraq score prediction
Senegal have star quality in abundance in their ranks, certainly compared to Iraq, who will put up a fight but are likely to be outclassed.
We're anticipating one-way traffic.
- Prediction: Senegal 3-0 Iraq
