Al Karkh form and stats

Al Karkh's results here at Al-Karkh Stadium in the Iraqi League have been very modest with 0 victories, 8 draws and 6 defeats. With 14 home Iraqi League games in a row without a win, the Al Karkh fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Naft Al-Janoob game long ago, can be stopped today.

Happy days for Karkh in their previous game, a fixture away at Samaraa (placed 20th) that ended with a 3-2 victory.

In the match before that, Al Karkh hosted Al-Qasim and drew the game 2-2.

Al Karkh have scored 10 league goals here from 14 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Al Karkh have conceded 16 goals.
