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

Newroz come into this fixture in good form (3W 2D 0L recently). Al-Gharraf travel struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Newroz and Al-Gharraf have split their 3 meetings almost evenly (2W–0D–1W). Their last encounter ended in Newroz won 0–1.

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