Al-Qasim desperately need points today at 4:00 PM in the Stars League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Baghdad FC come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Al-Qasim travel struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 7 previous meetings, Baghdad FC lead 2–4 with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Al-Qasim won 0–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Baghdad FC a slight edge, but Al-Qasim are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
