Senegal vs. Iraq - Total Corners

Active sub-markets

Market context

The FIFA World Cup 2026 match between Senegal and Iraq kicks off at 3:00 PM ET in Toronto, marking Africa’s first-ever World Cup clash with Asia. This fixture, part of Group I, sees Senegal heavily favoured by the Opta supercomputer with a 77.2% win probability, while Iraq holds just 8.6% and has lost all five prior World Cup matches[3]. The crowd-implied 27% YES probability for nine or more total corners reflects historical caution in low-scoring World Cup group games, where Senegal’s set-piece takers like Krepin Diatta and El Hadji Malick Diouf often drive corner counts, while Iraq’s defensive frailties may invite pressure[1].

Traders should monitor late lineup announcements and in-game tactical shifts, particularly Senegal’s half-time attacking surge and Iraq’s recent defensive struggles, which Flashscore notes could lead to a clean-sheet win[4]. Polymarket and Kalshi diverge here: Kalshi resolves on regulation plus stoppage time only, while Polymarket includes extra time if the match enters the knockout stage[5]. Fee structures also vary—Kalshi charges 0% maker fees but requires KYC, whereas Polymarket offers lower fees with minimal identity checks. Implied probabilities on Kalshi are decimal-converted, while Polymarket displays them directly, affecting how traders interpret the 27% threshold. Smarkets and Betfair, meanwhile, apply higher commission tiers but offer deeper liquidity for corner totals in World Cup fixtures.

Methodology

This page compares Senegal vs. Iraq - Total Corners specifically across Polymarket, Kalshi, Betfair Exchange and Smarkets. Live odds come from the Polymarket order book; the other venues' contract details are maintained manually because their APIs aren't directly comparable. Every CTA routes to PolyGram, which mirrors the Polymarket order book at 0% fees.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket settles via UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer posts the outcome with a bond, the two-hour window runs, then the smart contract pays USDC.

Kalshi settles USD through the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse — the cleanest variant, with heavier KYC. Betfair Exchange settles in account currency (GBP/EUR), net of 2-5% commission. Smarkets follows the same model as Betfair with a lower default 2% commission.
