Senegal vs. Iraq - Exact Score

Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

The underlying event is the FIFA World Cup group-stage match between Senegal and Iraq at BMO Field in Toronto on 26 June 2026, where the market bets on an exact final score after 90 minutes of regulation. Senegal, ranked 15th globally, faces Iraq, ranked 57th, in a contest where historical data shows Senegal won four of their last five encounters, averaging 1.6 points per match against Iraq’s 2.0 opponent points [4]. The current 4% crowd-implied probability for a specific outcome aligns with comparable World Cup fixtures between similarly ranked teams, where exact-score markets typically resolve to “Any Other Score” due to the high variance in low-scoring group games; for instance, Senegal’s 2002 quarter-final run featured multiple matches ending 1–0 or 2–1, reinforcing that narrow exact scores are rare unless one side dominates early [8].

Traders should monitor pre-match declarations from both coaches, particularly Graham Arnold’s press conference ahead of the fixture, where tactical adjustments or lineup changes could shift scoring expectations [9]. Key catalysts include the final team announcements released by FIFA at 17:00 UTC on 26 June, which will confirm whether both sides deploy attacking formations or prioritise defensive stability, directly influencing the likelihood of exact-score outcomes [5]. Recent campaign-finance disclosures from Senegal’s national football association, published by Fox Sports, reveal increased investment in offensive training, suggesting a potential bias toward higher-scoring matches [1]. The market is leaning on the pre-match lineup announcement as the primary driver, with polling aggregator Flashscore indicating Senegal’s strong head-to-head dominance as a secondary factor [2]. No moralising on trading is offered; the facts stand as the basis for assessment.

Methodology

Political prediction markets differ structurally from sports betting: thinner liquidity, longer settlement windows, higher sensitivity to single news events. This page shows the live Polymarket quote for Senegal vs. Iraq - Exact Score plus platform attributes for the three reference venues, so you can see at a glance where the deepest market for this question sits.

Resolution & payout

Political markets typically settle on official candidate or agency confirmation. Polymarket uses UMA Optimistic Oracle: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, the two-hour window opens, then the smart contract pays USDC.

Kalshi settles USD via CFTC clearinghouse, with clearly defined resolution sources (e.g. AP race calls for elections). Betfair settles after the official outcome is registered with the league or agency. Manifold is play-money.
