Al Minaa desperately need points on Friday, Feb 19 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 Minaa travel struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, Zakho lead 4–2 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Zakho won 1–2.

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