Al Zawra'a form and stats

5 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Al Zawra'a playing as the away team in the Iraqi League this season.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Al Quwa Al Jawiya wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Zawra'a delivered their win in the match against Al Hudod already in the first half, and could slow the play down in the final 45 minutes to ensure the glorious victory. A solid performance!

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Zawra'a have scored 12 goals in 12 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Zawra'a are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 6 goals away. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
