The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Al Kahrabaa are in the 10th position while the guesting Baghdad worry at 17th.
- Al Kahrabaa has the fewest clean sheets (0) in Iraqi League
- Baghdad have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Al Kahrabaa form and stats
Al Kahrabaa have played three Iraqi League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. The home fans are hungry for more even though Kahrabaa have been steadily collecting points here at Al Taji Stadium through three straight draws. The last three games played by Kahrabaa, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.
The Kahrabaa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. On the other hand, Kahrabaa have conceded 4 goals.
Baghdad form and stats
Baghdad have six points from their first three away games in the Iraqi League, meaning two victories and a loss. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Baghdad are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Baghdad might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Al Hudod proved too strong as Baghdad slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Bagdad Stadium.
The attacking power of Baghdad when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Al Kahrabaa won three, Baghdad won three and four draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with two goals or less.Al Kahrabaa missing players
