The visiting Al Shorta side should be favourites in this visit to Al Hussein, as the away team holds a 46 point advantage from their 28 league games this season.

Al Hussein form and stats

Al Hussein's struggle is real here at Al Taji Stadium with only 14 points collected from 14 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 3-5-6. The Al Hussein manager might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The home team returns to Al Taji Stadium after sharing the points with Al Hudod on their last time out; the Iraqi League game ended 0-0. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Erbil (0-2).

Al Hussein are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 14 goals in 14 matches. On the other hand, Al Hussein have conceded 17 goals.
