Al Shorta and Al Talaba meet on Friday, Feb 5 at 5:00 PM in the Stars League.
Al Shorta come into this fixture in good form (3W 2D 0L recently). Al Talaba travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Al Shorta here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Al Talaba, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 3–3 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: Al Shorta look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Al Talaba will make it uncomfortable. Al Shorta to win.
