The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Erbil are in the 13th position while the guests worry at 19th.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Hussein, who have the fewest scored goals (5) away in Iraqi League, so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-8 (win-draw-lose). It's a growing despair in Al Hussein as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Al Simawa.
