Another interesting game in the Iraqi League. Al Najaf is in the 15th position after playing five matches. They welcome Erbil who are placed 2nd after six games.
- Erbil has the fewest conceded goals (2) in Iraqi League
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 Najaf form and stats
Al Najaf have played 3 Iraqi League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Al Minaa Basra.
Najaf have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. Najaf have conceded 3 in these home matches.
Erbil form and stats
Things could have gone better for Erbil in their Iraqi League away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Erbil as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Erbil's manager A. Salman has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
