All eyes are on Al-Zawraa Stadium tomorrow evening, Sunday, where the "Nawras" team will face their traditional rival Al-Talaba in one of the strongest and most prominent matches of the second round of the Iraqi Stars League, which will take place at 8:30 PM.

Al-Zawraa enters the match with high spirits after starting their Asian campaign with an important victory over Goa, India, with a score of (2-0) in the AFC Champions League 2, a victory that boosted the team's confidence under the leadership of coach Abdul Ghani Shahid, especially after the club reinforced its squad with several outstanding players capable of making a difference both locally and continentally.

As for Al-Talaba, they are looking to confirm their strong presence in the new season, as they have a group of talented players led by Qatari coach Talal Al-Balushi, who has proven since his arrival that he has a clear technical vision, allowing the "Elegant" team to appear distinctly and aspire to compete strongly with the big teams this season.

The match is not just a league game; it falls under the list of derbies in the capital Baghdad, which gives it a special character in terms of enthusiasm and excitement, due to the history and traditional rivalry between the two great teams.

In terms of statistics, the last four encounters between the two teams showed a clear superiority for Al-Zawraa, who achieved 3 victories against only one draw, giving them a relative advantage before the match, but derby dynamics often break expectations and keep the outcome uncertain until the last moment.
