Another interesting game in the Iraqi League. Al Talaba is in the 20th position after playing zero matches. They welcome Naft who are placed 5th after three games.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1500 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
