Karabala stadium is a good omen for Al-Zawraa against Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya

All eyes will be on Karbala International Stadium tomorrow evening for the seventh round clash of the Iraqi Premier League between Al-Zawraa and Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, in a match that carries a special significance for both teams.

The match will kick off at 8:30 PM Baghdad time at Karbala International Stadium.

The match has been moved from the International Stadium in the capital to Karbala due to the unavailability of the Baghdad stadium, making the Karbala stadium the venue for this season's Iraqi clásico.

The Karbala Stadium is a source of great hope and positivity for Al-Zawraa fans, as it is associated with historic championship memories for the Hawks.

In 2017, the same stadium hosted the Iraqi Super Cup final between Al-Zawraa and Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya.

The match ended in its regular time with a 1-1 draw. Al-Suqour took the lead first through Imad Mohsen, before Al-Zawraa equalised in the dying moments with a memorable header from Ali Hussein Rahima.

The match went straight to penalties, where goalkeeper Jalal Hassan excelled and led Al-Zawraa to victory with a score of 3-0, after the players of Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya failed to score any penalties.

Al-Zawraa have claimed the Iraqi Super Cup title for the fifth time in their history, on a night that remains etched in the memories of Al-Nawras fans.

The two teams meet again today on the same ground, but this time in the Iraqi Premier League.

Al-Zawraa enter the match in second place with 12 points and the strongest attack having scored 12 goals, aiming to leverage the Karbala 'Val' to widen the gap.

Al Quwa Al Jawiya are seeking a second win this season after struggling with 4 draws and a loss, amid the pressures of travel issues for the Asian tournament.
