Struggling Al Najaf will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Naft in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Al Najaf has the fewest scored goals in the first half (0) in Iraqi League
- Naft have scored more than double the goals of Al Najaf.
