The visiting Naft Maysan side should be favourites in this visit to Al Bahri, as the away team holds a 27 point advantage from their 32 league games this season.

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.

This stadium uses sand pitch, unlike Naft Maysan's home stadium. The visitors last two games on sand pitch have ended in 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.

Al Bahri form and stats

With 1 win, 8 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Al Bahri, who have the fewest points (11) at home in Iraqi League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The Al Bahri supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Naft Maysan in Iraqi League and win 2-1. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Al Kahrabaa (0-1).

Al Bahri have scored 15 goals here in 16 matches, not a lot. Al Bahri have conceded 25 from these games.
