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.
