Al-Gharraf desperately need points on Friday, May 21 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 Naft come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Al-Gharraf travel struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Al Naft won their last outing, while Al-Gharraf suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

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

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Al Naft clear favorites, but Al-Gharraf have shown they can grind out results. Expect Al Naft to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
