Only a few games have been played in the Iraqi League so far, with Naft Al-Wasat placed 9th and Naft Al-Janoob sitting in the 10th position.
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.
