Al-Mosul desperately need points on Friday, Apr 9 at 5:00 PM in the Stars League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Al-Mosul come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). Erbil, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Al-Mosul head into this on the back of a defeat, while Erbil arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Al-Mosul and Erbil have split their 2 meetings almost evenly (0W–1D–1W). Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

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