Al-Naft vs Naft Al Junoob
Iraqi Premier League has entered the 32nd week, where one of the matches this week will present a match between the Al-Naft who played as the host to host Naft Al Junoob at Al Sina’a Stadium. It seems like this game is indeed a heavy burden for the visitors because they have never been able to beat Al-Naft in the last 7 games.
Of the 7 meetings, Al-Naft picked 5 wins while the remaining 2 games drew. Apart from their meeting for the standings Al-Naft is ranked 6th in the standings with 46 points while their Naft Al Junoob follows in 9th place in the standings and with Al-Naft 6 points adrift, certainly interesting by leaving 2 more matches in this season including this fight the visitors are still a big chance to catch up with Al-Naft.
However, the requirement to shift the Al-Naft is to win 2 remaining matches, but observers believe that the opportunity is small, this is not apart from head to head but also their performance lately. This host has risen from their deterioration, Al-Naft has not been beaten in the last 8 matches, including in the last 2 matches in a win over Al Simawa and Al Talaba.
Meanwhile for the visitors they have no record as well as the hosts, their Naft Al Junoob in the last 8 games swallowed 4 defeats including in the last match yesterday which fell against host Al Zawra’a 2-1. Of course this is not a good result when undergoing an away match, seeing Al-Naft’s advantage playing at his own headquarters and also the meeting record is likely Naft Al Junoob will be defeated.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
