Al-Gharraf desperately need points on Friday, May 7 at 5:00 PM in the Stars League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Zakho come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L 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 — Zakho and Al-Gharraf have split their 2 meetings almost evenly (1W–1D–0W). Their last encounter ended in Zakho won 2–0.

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