Al Najaf form and stats
5 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Al Najaf have to build on here at Al Najaf Stadium in the Iraqi League. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Al Najaf, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Najaf enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Naft Al-Janoob's place. The match ended 2-0. What a relief, as that was the first league win after going winless in eight fixtures in a row.
1-1 away at Al Talaba before that.A decent goal production from Al Najaf in their home games so far, with 17 goals from 10 league matches. Al Najaf have conceded 12 in these home matches.
Al Quwa Al Jawiya form and stats
The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 3 draws and only 1 loss in the Iraqi League. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Jawiya, as they have won on their previous two travels.
Al Quwa Al Jawiya have much to play for after their surprise defeat (3-4) to Al-Qasim in their previous match, played at home. That defeat was their first after four consecutive league matches winning points. A huge disappointment for Al Quwa Al Jawiya in their last match (vs Al-Qasim). Leading 3-1 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 3-4 defeat.
Preceding that, 1-1 at home vs Al Shabab in the Arab Club Championship.
Observe: 12 of the last 16 league games featuring this side have had only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting terms).
The travelling fans enjoy Jawiya's attacking play in away games, having scored 15 goals in 9 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Al Quwa Al Jawiya as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
