The Iraqi League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Al Diwaniya and Al Shorta are placed 14th and 3rd respectively.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
