Erbil enters this Iraq Stars League matchup in great form, having won five of their last six matches to climb to 3rd in the standings. They are facing a Diyala side that has been inconsistent, losing three of their last four games. While the last meeting ended in a 1-1 draw, Erbil’s momentum and the home crowd at Franso Hariri Stadium should ensure they avoid defeat against a lower-ranked opponent.
