The Al Talaba manager attacks this game with the team placed 3rd so far. In the visitors dressing room Al Zawra'a and their manager B. Hamdan are in 12th place before this match.
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.
Al Zawra'a have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
