Competition: Iraq Iraqi League
Date: Thu 18.July
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Al Sina'a Stadium

A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and 20th place in the table will show on the pitch.

It's no vacation for neither Naft nor Al Hussein as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Naft form and stats

Overall stats at home this season for Naft are 8-5-5 (wins-draw-losses). Naft haven’t lost a game in 14 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Baghdad.

Naft's previous game was a Iraqi League match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Al Hussein. The home side are looking to build on that result. A strong away win before that one, visiting Al Quwa Al Jawiya and winning 2-1.

Naft are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 26 goals in 18 matches. Naft have conceded 18 in these home matches.

Al Hussein form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Hussein, who have the fewest points (7) away in Iraqi League, so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-14 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Al Hussein, who have now gone 14 games without a victory. The Naft Maysan game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 16 away games in a row.

Al Hussein play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Naft. Prior to that match, the Al Hussein manager faced defeat when travelling to Al Zawra'a and losing 1-4.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Al Hussein as they have only managed to score 12 times from 19 away games. Al Hussein have conceded 32 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Naft - Al Hussein 2-1 earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last seven meetings): Naft won 6 games, 1 match ended with a draw and Al Hussein has 0 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 3 / 4
