Erbil and Al Karkh meet today at 4:00 PM in the Stars League.

Erbil come into this fixture in good form (3W 2D 0L recently). Al Karkh travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Erbil and Al Karkh have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (2W–5D–3W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

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