Zakho form and stats

6 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses. That’s the product of Zakho playing as the away team in the Iraqi League this season. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the Zakho manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

The supporters enjoyed Zakho's previous fixture versus Samaraa (placed 20th), a 3-0 win played at home. Hooray; their first three points in the league after six matches not winning.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Al-Qasim wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Low-scoring game? 23 of this side's most recent 30 league fixtures have contained two goals or less.

It's not easy to score on Zakho as they have only conceded 17 goals from these away games.
