Al-Gharraf desperately need points today at 4:30 PM in the Stars League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Al-Gharraf come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Al Karkh, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Al-Gharraf and Al Karkh have split their 1 meetings almost evenly (0W–0D–1W). Their last encounter ended in Al-Gharraf won 0–1.

Verdict: Al Karkh's quality should tell even on the road. Al-Gharraf will push, but the visitors have too much class. Al Karkh to win.
