With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Iraqi League game of the season. Al Kahrabaa look forward to welcoming Al Hudod in front of their home support.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Al Kahrabaa form and stats
Murad Mohammad was the last player to score a league goal for Al Kahrabaa and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Kahrabaa haven't scored in 381 minutes.
The defeat against Al Quwa Al Jawiya was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored five minutes into stoppage time (by Abbas Jassim).
This is expected to be a close game, with Al Kahrabaa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Al Kahrabaa as a small favourite), we find two games. Al Kahrabaa has won zero of these, drawn two and lost zero.
Last season, Al Kahrabaa's league statistics were 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, resulting in a 14th position in the Iraqi League. Over these five matches they scored 3 goals and conceded 7. Playing at home last season Al Kahrabaa managed 0-2-1 (win-draw-lost) with 3 goals and 5 conceded.
Al Hudod form and stats
One match played away so far in the Iraqi League for Al Hudod and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 0 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses from 2 games.
Hudod aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 264 league minutes without a goal. Ali Hussein Fandi was the last player to find the net.
A 0-1 defeat away at Naft before that.
0 goals so far away for Al Hudod, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.
Let's have a look at how Al Hudod performed last season in the Iraqi League: They landed a 8th position in the league table after playing out 2 victories, 0 draws and 2 defeats. In total they scored 4 and conceded 3 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 0 - drew 0 and lost 2 with 1/3 goals scored/conceded.
