Zakho form and stats

Zakho have played 16 Iraqi League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-7-3 (wins-draws-losses). With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Zakho to get some points in this home game.

No payout for Zakho in their previous match, an away game at Al-Qasim that ended in defeat 1-2. Heartbreak for Zakho in their last match as Al-Qasim's Seraj Eddin Sabah scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Al Minaa Basra (1-3).

The Zakho fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 16 matches. From these home matches, Zakho have conceded only 14 goals.

Al Diwaniya form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Diwaniya so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 1-7-8 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Diwaniya have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Naft Al-Janoob game.

The attacking players of Diwaniya have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 247 minutes.

Al Diwaniya might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Baghdad proved too strong as Al Diwaniya slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans.

A loss against Al Zawra'a was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Diwaniya are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 6 goals from 16 away games. 23 goals have been conceded by Diwaniya in these games.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Al Diwaniya - Zakho 0-0. Head-2-head stats last three meetings: one - two - zero (Zakho wins - draws - Al Diwaniya wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
