Competition: Iraq Iraqi League
Date: Thu 18.July
Match begins: 16:15 (UTC)
Venue: Zubair Stadium (5000 seats)

Season ticket holders at Zubair Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Al Bahri languishing in the 19th position so far. The guesting Al Hudod will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on sand pitch and that the visiting Al Hudod have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on sand pitch is 0-4-0 (win-draw-loss) from four matches.

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories so far this season. Al Bahri, who have the fewest points (14) at home in Iraqi League, have only managed 2 wins, 8 draws and 8 losses so far from their games here at Zubair Stadium.

The Al Bahri crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Al Hudod here at Zubair Stadium in a Iraqi League match. Heartbreak before that as Al Bahri lost 1-3 at Erbil's place.

Al Bahri has scored 18 goals at home this season, in 18 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 28 goals have been conceded.

Al Hudod form and stats

4 wins, 8 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Al Hudod playing as the away team this season. The fact that Al Hudod have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Having won their last three away games Al Hudod has no reason to fear anyone.

Al Hudod play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Al Bahri. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Al Karkh at their stadium, the result 1-0.

The attacking power of Al Hudod when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored in 19 matches. Al Hudod have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Al Bahri - Al Hudod 1-2 earlier this season. Numbers for the last six meetings between these two teams are: 2 wins for Al Bahri, 1 draw and 3 wins for Al Hudod. Over 2,5 goals: 2 times; under 2,5 goals: 4 games.
