I just looked through Iraq vs Bolivia (2-1), and this one is interesting from a betting perspective.
On paper, Bolivia looked like the better side. 68% possession, 15 shots, and 16 corners. But despite all that, they still lost the game. That tells you everything about efficiency.
Iraq were very direct. Only 6 shots, but they created 3 big chances and converted well. That’s the difference.
First half was balanced at 1-1, but Iraq took advantage of the second half and created better chances. Bolivia had control, but no real threats.
What I observe
From a betting angle, this is a classic example where stats like possession can be misleading.
If you followed trends like “home team to win” or avoided overrating possession-heavy teams, this game makes sense.
I usually log matches like this on sokapicks because they help identify a key pattern: teams with fewer chances can still win if they are more clinical.
Simple takeaway:
Do not rely on possession alone. Focus on teams that can create quality chance and conversion.
Am interested to know if anyone backed Iraq here or went with Bolivia based on stats.

- Bolivia dominated possession but lacked finishing
- Iraq had fewer chances but higher impact in the game
- Big chances were close (3 vs 2), but Iraq used theirs better
