Points have been hard to come by for Zakho so far, and you could say the same about Al-Qasim. These students from the school of hard knocks would trade their mothers for some much needed points here.

Insights:
  • Zakho have conceded at least twice as many corners as they have won.
  • Al-Qasim have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It's no vacation for neither Zakho nor Al-Qasim as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
