An important duel in the bottom section of the Iraqi League, with both Al Simawa and Al Diwaniya experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 20th and the visitors in 16th place.
- Al Simawa have the most conceded goals (55) in Iraqi League
- Al Diwaniya have the fewest scored goals (19) in Iraqi League
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Simawa have had a bad season and will be relegated from Iraqi League. Diwaniya is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
