Naft Al-Basra form and stats
Naft Al-Basra have played 8 Iraqi League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-5-1 (wins-draws-losses). Al-Basra has five consecutive draws when playing at home, an interesting stat.
Naft Al-Basra are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Al-Qasim.
In the match before that, Al-Basra hosted Al Sinaah and drew the game 0-0.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Naft Al-Basra as they are travelling to their away game against Naft Maysan in the Iraqi League. That match is four days after this one.
Al-Basra are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 8 games. Naft Al-Basra are not conceding a lot of goals here at Al Faihaa Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 8 matches.

The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Samaraa, who have now gone 22 games without a victory. The Al Karkh game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
The manager was unhappy after their last game, a Iraqi League match played at their home ground Samaraa Stadium. Samaraa suffered a 1-2 loss to Erbil (placed 15th).
Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Al Kahrabaa's place.A quick return to home after this game, as Samaraa are hosting Zakho in the Iraqi League only four days away.
