Al-Qasim vs Naft Al-Wasat Preview & Prediction 08 Jul 2021

Both Al-Qasim and Naft Al-Wasat are hungry for points in this one, despite the away team holding a 26 point advantage so far.

Insights:

Al-Qasim have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
Naft Al-Wasat have the most points from losing position (18) in Iraqi League

It's no vacation for neither Al-Qasim nor Naft Al-Wasat as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Al-Qasim are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Al-Wasat is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
