Samaraa form and stats

With 1 Iraqi League win, 4 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Samaraa are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The Samaraa manager and his crew return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Al Zawra'a (placed 4th).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Al-Qasim in a game that was won 3-2.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Samaraa here at Samaraa Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 12 games). It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Samaraa defense is not exactly impregnable. 19 goals conceded from 12 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Naft Maysan form and stats

Naft Maysan have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Iraqi League, after 1-6-4 (11 played). It's three draws from Maysan's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

Naft Maysan had fun at their own home (Samaraa Stadium) last time out, beating Al-Qasim 1-0.

A 1-1 draw at Al Sinaah's stadium before that.

Naft Maysan are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 4 goals from 11 away games. Maysan are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 10 times in 11 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

This was the end result when the sides met earlier this season; Naft Maysan - Samaraa 2-1.
