Match analysis
Saudi Arabia and Iraq have each scored two goals in their last five games, 0.4 a game apiece, so Superior's forecast for Saudi Arabia vs Iraq in the Gulf Cup on 29 September is a tight 1-0 home win. The alternative is 1-1.
Saudi Arabia beat Kuwait 1-0 on 23 September
Superior sets an expected scoring rate for each side before building the score grid, and neither rate is high here. Saudi Arabia's five include 0-0 draws with Senegal and Cape Verde, a 1-1 with Uruguay and a 4-0 defeat by Spain, with a defence rated 6.0 and an attack rated 6.1. Iraq lost to Senegal, France, Norway and Venezuela in their last five and scored once in those four defeats.
The last meeting between these sides ended 0-0
Saudi Arabia and Iraq drew 0-0 in Saudi Arabia in October 2025, and a repeat is the first way this forecast misses. Iraq also held Spain 1-1 in June, which shows they can take a point off a stronger side, and a single Iraqi goal would turn 1-0 into the 1-1 alternative.
