Venue: Al-Shaab Stadium (40000 seats)

A home victory is predicted from this fixture if the league standings is to be trusted. The Al Talaba club members are hopeful that the gap between 5th and Naft Al-Basra's 14th position in the table will be visible on the grass.

Insights:
  • Al Talaba have the most matches under the total-line (17) in Iraqi League
  • Al Talaba have created more than twice as many corners as Naft Al-Basra.

These teams have little in common geographically as Naft Al-Basra have to travel 2000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
