Important face-off in the lower section of the Iraqi League, with both Al Diwaniya and Erbil experiencing more stress than glee. This fixture is a classic "six-pointer" with the hosting team at 19th and the away team in 15th spot.
- Al Diwaniya have yet to win a game.
- Erbil have yet to win a game away.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Al Diwaniya form and stats
Al Diwaniya have played three Iraqi League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Al Diwaniya faced defeat in their previous match, away at Naft Al-Wasat (0-2).
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Naft that ended 2-2.The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Diwaniya here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games).

Erbil form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Iraqi League for Erbil with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Erbil goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 209 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Erbil had fun at their own home last time out, beating Al Shorta 1-0. That win felt nice as this team had gone five league games without victory.
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Duhok that ended 0-0.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Erbil as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. 4 goals have been conceded by Erbil in these games.
Head 2 Head
Stats for the preceeding six meetings featuring these two participants are: one win for Diwaniya, three draws and two wins for Erbil. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
