[Arabian Gulf Cup] The teams look evenly matched, but I’m leaning towards Iraq. They play strong defense, and Bahrain has been unimpressive in terms of scoring.

Bahrain continues to fight for a spot in the World Cup, but their position in the qualifying group leaves much to be desired. There are still four matches left in the qualifiers, and five teams are competing for second place.

On the other hand, this hasn’t stopped Bahrain from starting strong in the Gulf Cup of Nations. In the first round, they secured a victory over the solid Saudi Arabian team.

Iraq faces much weaker opponents in the World Cup qualifiers and comfortably occupies second place. Excluding South Korea, their main competitor for second place is Jordan.

Under coach Garcia, Iraq dominated the weakest team in their group, Yemen, in the last match, although they only managed to win thanks to a single accurate strike.
