Al Diwaniya form and stats

Al Diwaniya have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Iraqi League, after 1-1-7 (9 played). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Al Diwaniya are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

The attacking players of Diwaniya have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 260 minutes.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Al Najaf with 0-2 on the scoreboard.

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Al Zawra'a.

Al Diwaniya have another game that requires travelling in just four days, a Iraqi League match vs Al Talaba. A back-breaking programme for the guests!

Goals are few and far between in Al Diwaniya's away league games. Only 3 goals from 9 travels. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Diwaniya's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips. Al Diwaniya has visited these top teams two times, and 2 of 2 has ended with 2 goals or more!
