There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Iraqi League game only four days ago.
Al Karkh form and stats
Al Karkh have played three Iraqi League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Karkh drew their last game, 2-2 away at Al-Qasim (placed 17th).
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Al Sinaah.Karkh have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. 3 goals have been conceded.
Samaraa form and stats
As the visiting team in Iraqi League matches, Samaraa, who have the the worst goal difference (-8) in Iraqi League, have produced an overall stat of 0-1-3 so far. Samaraa are desperate to end a 13-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Al Karkh fixture.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Iraqi League home defeat versus Newroz SC with 1-3 on the scoreboard.
Prior to that match, the Samaraa manager faced defeat when travelling to Naft Maysan and losing 1-2.There's been a serious shortage of goals from Samaraa's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches. As opposed to that, Samaraa have seen the ball go into their own net 5 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
