Venue: Al Kefal Olympic Stadium

Al-Qasim will pray that their home advantage is enough to get a victory from this back-breaking dispute, versus gutsy Naft Al-Wasat.

Insights:
  • Al-Qasim have the fewest matches under the total-line (0) in Iraqi League
  • Naft Al-Wasat have won significantly less corners away then at home.

Relegation threatens Al-Qasim who should definitely be looking for some points here. Al-Wasat is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
