Naft form and stats

Naft's results here at Al-Shaab Stadium in the Iraqi League have been very modest with 3 victories, 5 draws and 8 defeats.

Naft are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Al Sinaah.

Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Al Karkh.

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 9 games. Naft has won 4 of these, drawn 2 and lost 3.

The Naft fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 16 matches. Naft have conceded 25 from these games.
