Duhok welcome Diyala on Friday, Nov 27 at 5:00 PM in a Stars League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Duhok come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Diyala travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Duhok here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Diyala, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Duhok won 0–1.

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