Al-Shorta Club welcomes its guest Al-Gharaf tomorrow evening, Sunday, at the "Cage" stadium, as part of the 34th round of the Iraqi Stars League. In this match, "The Harp" aims to continue its series of positive results and maintain its hopes of competing for the title until the last moment.

The match kicks off at eight in the evening, and it comes at a critical time for both teams, albeit with different goals. Al-Shorta wants to stay close to the leader, while Al-Gharaf is looking for points to keep it completely away from the danger zones.

Ahmed Salah's team enters the match coming from two consecutive wins that have restored its competitive momentum after a period of setbacks.

"The Harp" is in second place with 70 points, 7 points behind the leading Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya with 4 rounds remaining. This gap means that Al-Shorta needs to win every match and wait for the "Falcons" to stumble if it wants to snatch the title.

On the other hand, Al-Gharaf is having a good season relative to its capabilities, proving that it is not an easy team for any competitor.

The team is in 14th place with 39 points, a relatively comfortable position compared to the relegation battle, but it still needs additional points to officially secure its stay without complicated calculations in the final round.

Al-Gharaf is characterized by a high fighting spirit and the ability to embarrass big teams, having embarrassed more than one team this season on their home grounds. Therefore, Al-Shorta is required to deal cautiously with the guest that plays without pressure.

The first-leg match between the two teams ended with Al-Shorta's victory by a single goal, in a match that saw relative dominance by "The Harp" but revealed the difficulty of penetrating Al-Gharaf's organized defense.
