An important duel in the bottom section of the Iraqi League, with both Al Hudod and Al Karkh experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 14th place.
- Al Hudod has the most matches over the total-line (2) in Iraqi League
- Al Karkh have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Al Hudod and Al Karkh should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Al Karkh form and stats
Playing away, Al Karkh have won 2 games, drawn 2 and suffered 3 defeats in the Iraqi League this season.

Late heartbreak for Karkh in the Al Najaf match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
