Al-Mosul desperately need points on Monday, May 17 at 5:00 PM in the Stars League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

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

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Diyala and Al-Mosul have split their 3 meetings almost evenly (1W–0D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Diyala won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.7 per game in recent meetings.

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