The Iraqi football fans are preparing to follow a strong match in the third round of the Iraqi Stars League, as Al-Nafth team faces Al-Student team at the magical Ahmed Razi Stadium at six in the evening.

Al-Nafth team is known for its stubbornness and defensive solidity, having finished last season in sixth place with 59 points, conceding only 27 goals, which confirms that its defense line is a cornerstone of its plans.

This distinguished defense is led by an experienced coach like Adel Ni'ma, who has succeeded in maintaining balance between the team's lines. This season, Al-Nafth has continued to maintain this solidity and has strikers capable of threatening the goal, most notably Hussam Jaddallah Khalaf and Augustin Chidi, despite the team facing a tough match against Al-Karma in the second round, where they lost after being ahead despite one of their players being sent off before the end of the first half.

On the other hand, Al-Student remains one of the major teams in the Iraqi league, boasting a rich history and extensive experience in competing for the top positions.

The team relies on an advanced attack line led by Algerian Karim Areebi, who delivered a remarkable performance against Al-Zawraa, in addition to a strong defense line and an excellent international goalkeeper like Fahd Taleb.

The Qatari team is led by Talal Al-Balushi, who has managed to form a cohesive team that combines experience and enthusiasm, benefiting greatly from the support of its loyal fans.
