Al Diwaniya form and stats

Al Diwaniya have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Iraqi League, after 0-3-12 (15 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 15 away games in a row.

Al Diwaniya's previous game was their home loss versus Naft Al-Basra (0-4). Al Diwaniya lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

Preceding that game, the 2-9 loss visiting Al Quwa Al Jawiya's place.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Diwaniya as they have only managed to score 11 times from 15 away games in the league. The Al Diwaniya manager has some worries about the defense as 33 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head
