Al-Zawraa Club is preparing to face Al-Shorta team in a derby everyone is eagerly awaiting, and with Louay Salah recently taking over as the emergency coach until the end of the season, the coach's history with Al-Shorta gains special importance in reading the match predictions.

Salah has previously led several prominent teams in the Iraqi league, most notably Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, Al-Kahraba, Erbil, and Al-Mina, facing significant challenges against strong teams, including the Green Harp. Although the current period with Al-Zawraa is relatively short, Salah's previous experience provides him with a solid foundation to manage the upcoming match.

Salah's record against Al-Shorta shows mixed results. The first encounter this season was when he was leading Al-Mina, and it ended in a 1-1 draw in the 14th round of the league, demonstrating the coach's ability to lead his team to achieve a positive result against a balanced and strong team, despite the significant pressure from the opponent and the audience.

The second encounter was last season with Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, where his team lost to Al-Shorta with a heavy score of 4-0, indicating the size of the challenge against the Green Harp and how facing Al-Shorta requires precise plans and significant mental and physical preparation.

Al-Zawraa, under Salah's leadership, looks to leverage his previous experiences and find a balance between defense and attack, especially in a derby match that cannot tolerate any complacency. The team hopes the new match will give the coach an opportunity to prove himself and leave his first mark after taking on the responsibility in a short time, amid expectations that he will seek to compensate for any previous failures and present his team in a better light in front of its fans.
