Insights:

  • Al Shorta have scored more than double the goals of Baghdad.

Al Shorta have already won the league and the fans have gone wild! Even so, with the trophy already secured there could be issues regarding the team's motivation in this one.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

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.

Baghdad form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Baghdad so far with only 17 points returning home. The records show 5-2-10 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Baghdad who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Al Quwa Al Jawiya was the last time a defeat was avoided.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Baghdad, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Al Zawra'a (placed 5th).

A loss against Al Minaa Basra was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The visitors have scored 15 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Baghdad have conceded 21 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Baghdad - Al Shorta 1-3 was the product when these two sides last met, some time ago this season. Shorta-Baghdad H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Al Shorta nine wins, Baghdad zero wins, one draw. six of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
