The season has been a struggle for Al-Qasim so far, and you could say the same about Erbil. The bottom dwellers would trade their mothers for some important points here.
- Al-Qasim have won significantly less corners at home than away.
- Erbil have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Erbil form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Erbil so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-4 (win-draw-lose).
It's the second away game in a row for Erbil, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus Al Najaf (placed 7th) last time out. Eureka; their first three points in the league after nine matches not winning.
Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Newroz SC.The visitors have scored 8 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game.
