Al-Gharraf desperately need points on Thursday, Oct 22 at 9:00 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 struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). Al Naft, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Al-Gharraf head into this on the back of a defeat, while Al Naft arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Al-Gharraf and Al Naft have split their 2 meetings almost evenly (1W–0D–1W). Their last encounter ended in Al-Gharraf won 0–1.

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