Zakho desperately need points today at 5:45 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 (0W 2L recently). Al-Mosul, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

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

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