Naft Al-Basra form and stats

Naft Al-Basra have collected 16 points from their Iraqi League home games so far after 4-4-6. When Naft Al-Basra hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Naft Al-Basra, Al-Qasim, Al Sinaah, Zakho, Naft Al-Wasat and Al Diwaniya), they have won 2 of 4 matches!

A good away victory last time out for Al-Basra, who won 4-0 against Al Diwaniya (placed 20th). A big relief, as that was the first three points in the league after playing, but not winning, six fixtures in a row. As mentioned above, Naft Al-Basra "killed" Al Diwaniya in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
