Al Diwaniya form and stats

With 0 Iraqi League wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Al Diwaniya are certainly not brimming with confidence. With Al Diwaniya having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager .

The supporters are hoping that Diwaniya will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the game against Al Sinaah (placed 19th).

Ahead of that match, Al Diwaniya lost 0-3 at home to Al Karkh.

The lack of attacking qualities in Al Diwaniya means that they have only scored {2 goals} in 6 league home games, less than half a goal per match. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Diwaniya defense is not exactly impregnable. 11 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
