Al-Zawraa will visit Zakho on the evening of next Wednesday at 5:00 PM Baghdad time, at Zakho Stadium in Dohuk Governorate, northern Iraq, as part of the 27th round of the Iraqi Stars League.

Zakho enters the match on its home ground and among its fans, occupying the sixth place with 46 points, collected from 13 wins, 7 draws, and 6 losses.

"The Sons of Khabour" are coming from an important 2-1 victory over Amanat Baghdad in the last round, and they aspire to exploit the home and crowd advantage to snatch the three points and continue progressing towards the top four, especially since a win will give them the chance to surpass Al-Zawraa in the standings.

On the other hand, Al-Zawraa is in fifth place with 47 points from 12 wins, 11 draws, and 3 losses.

"The Gulls" are coming from two consecutive draws against Erbil 1-1 and against Al-Karma 0-0, and they are looking to compensate and return to the winning track despite the difficulty of the task away from home.

The team has officially moved away from the atmosphere of competing for the title this season, but they want to secure their position among the top five and compete for a spot qualifying for international tournaments.

The first-leg match between the two teams this season ended with Al-Zawraa winning 4-2 at the late Sharar Haider Stadium in Baghdad, in a match that saw 6 goals. Zakho seeks revenge on its home ground, while Al-Zawraa wants to confirm their superiority in both legs.
