Naft form and stats

Naft's results here at Al-Shaab Stadium in the Iraqi League have been very modest with 2 victories, 5 draws and 8 defeats. Game days at Al-Shaab Stadium have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Naft as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Happy days for Naft in their previous game, a fixture away at Naft Al-Basra (placed 14th) that ended with a 3-0 victory.

Ahead of that match, Naft lost 0-2 at home to Al Quwa Al Jawiya.

This is expected to be a close game, with Naft perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Naft as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Naft has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Naft are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 15 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Naft have conceded 23 from these games.
