It's still early in the Iraqi League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Al Simawa - Al Karkh preview!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Iraqi League.
Al Simawa form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Al Simawa's two home games in the Iraqi League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Al Samawah Stadium.
Al Simawa haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 200 minutes ago. Hasan Khayre scored that one.
Early season league goal statistics from Al Simawa's 2 home games: 1 goal, 1 conceded.
Al Karkh form and stats
Al Karkh are still undefeated on their travels in the Iraqi League. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
The manager was unhappy after their last game, a Iraqi League match played at their home ground Al-Karkh Stadium. Karkh suffered a 0-1 loss to Naft Al-Wasat (placed 2nd).
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Al Karkh has managed 2 goals and let in 0 from 2 matches.
