Competition: Iraq Iraqi League
Competition: Thu 20.Jul
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Karbala Stadium (9000 seats)

The path has mostly gone uphill for Al Diwaniya so far, and the same description fits Naft. These weathered teams hope for some much needed points here.

Insights:
  • Al Diwaniya have the most conceded goals (85) in Iraqi League
  • Naft have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

For Al Diwaniya relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Naft are struggling to avoid relegation.

The visiting Naft played their last game only four days ago, a Iraqi League match. That game, against Karbala, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Naft.

Al Diwaniya form and stats

With 2 Iraqi League wins, 2 draws and 14 defeats from their home games, Al Diwaniya are certainly not brimming with confidence. When Al Diwaniya hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Naft Al-Janoob, Al-Qasim, Al Sinaah, Zakho, Naft Al-Wasat and Al Diwaniya), they have won 2 of 5 matches! It's trouble wherever Diwaniya are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

No payout for Al Diwaniya in their previous match, an away game at Al Kahrabaa that ended in defeat 0-5. Diwaniya were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Preceding that match was the home game against Karbala that was lost 1-3.

Some goal stats: A review of the 12 most recent league games reveals that 9 of them had at least one goal from each team.

Al Diwaniya have scored {12 league goals} here from 18 matches, not a lot. Al Diwaniya have conceded 41 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Naft form and stats

There's been little loot from Naft's travels as they have only collected 18 points from 18 away games in the Iraqi League. Naft only have 4 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 6 draws. Naft has drawn their two previous away games.

Naft have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper. It's been 280 minutes since they last conceded in Iraqi League.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Karbala (placed 8th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 0-0.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Al-Qasim.

The visitors have scored 16 goals from 18 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Naft have conceded 24 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head
