FIFA lifted the ban on Thursday after Iraq gave written assurances that it had not dissolved the national soccer federation.
Verbeek said he expected Iraq to stack their defence and play for a draw on Sunday, fielding a lone striker and hoping to hit back with quick counter-attacks.
“They’ll wait and wait and wait for one or two chances and then if they can score one goal it will be good for them,” the Dutchman said.
“That’s what we expect – they will defend and we will attack and it’s our job to be alert, to concentrate so that we don’t give counter-possibilities away. The chances we create, we have to finish them, because we will not get many chances.
Verbeek has named Harry Kewell as captain in place of the absent Lucas Neill and said he had not seen the former Liverpool player so motivated.
