World Cup fancies France will be looking to make it two wins from two games when they meet minnows Iraq on Saturday night.
Les Bleus were struggling to get the better of Senegal in their Group I opener until Kylian Mbappé turned it on in the second half to secure all three points.
Mbappé turned home Michael Olise’s scintillating pass to open the scoring and hit a 25-yard screamer immediately after Ibrahim Mbaye had made it 2-1 to give the African nation a glimmer of hope.
Iraq, one of the lowest-ranked teams in FIFA’s rankings at the World Cup, are looking to bounce back from a 4-1 hammering against Norway in their first game.
Graham Arnold’s side enjoyed a solid opening spell before being hit by an Erling Haaland hurricane and they will need a positive result, otherwise, they will be facing the prospect of an early exit.
Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch France v Iraq on TV and online.
