Naft Maysan form and stats

7-5-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Iraqi League numbers at home for Naft Maysan so far this season. Naft Maysan have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

The fans are hoping that Maysan will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the match against Al Sinaah (placed 18th). The first setback in the shape of a loss after going unbeaten in four league games.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Al Karkh.

Naft Maysan are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 14 games. Maysan are not conceding a lot of goals here at Amman International Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 13 from 14 matches.

Zakho form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Zakho so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-8 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the Zakho manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Zakho had fun at their own home (Amman International Stadium) last time out, beating Al Kahrabaa 2-0. Eureka; their first three points in the league after six rounds not winning.

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Karbala's place.

Few goals the story here? 19 of this side's last 24 league matches have contained two or less goals.

The attacking power of Zakho when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 14 league matches away. 16 goals have been conceded by Zakho in these games.

Head 2 Head

Naft Maysan have put together a streak of 6 consecutive games without defeat (2-4-0) when facing Zakho.
