Al Karkh hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 8 points and a 15th position in the Iraqi League table. Visiting Erbil holds 7th place with 12 pts.
- Erbil has the fewest conceded goals (3) in Iraqi League
Erbil could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Iraqi League game only four sleeps ago.
Al Karkh form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Al Karkh's two home games in the Iraqi League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Al-Karkh Stadium.
Karkh manager and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Al Minaa Basra (placed 13th) in the Iraqi League.
This is expected to be a close game, with Al Karkh perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Karkh as a small favourite), we find two games. Al Karkh has won zero of these, drawn one and lost one.
Al Karkh has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Erbil form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) in Iraqi League, on their Iraqi League travels is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat.
Mohammad Nidal was the last player to score for the away team. Erbil haven't scored a league goal in the last 182 minutes.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Erbil playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were one Erbil win, one draw and one defeat.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Erbil's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches. Erbil are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 1 goal away.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last nine meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Karkh, five draws and four wins for Erbil. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.Al Karkh missing players
