Al-Qasim form and stats

The story so far in the Iraqi League for Al-Qasim at their home stadium (Karbala Stadium) is 4 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats.

Al-Qasim haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 299 minutes ago. Malek scored that one.

The followers are hoping that Al-Qasim will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Al Shorta (placed 1st). Up until that beating this team had gone nine consecutive league meetings without losing.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Duhok that ended 0-0.

Low-scoring affair? Looking at this club's last 11 league matches, 9 have had two goals or less.

Al Diwaniya form and stats

Al Diwaniya have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Iraqi League, after 0-4-13 (17 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 17 away games in a row.

Diwaniya's previous game was their home loss versus Al Najaf (1-2).

A loss against Newroz SC was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Goal-happy betting people should observe that 8 of this side's 10 latest league rounds have ended with at least three goals.

The visitors have scored 13 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Al Diwaniya manager has some worries about the defense as 36 goals have been conceded in these travels.
