Amanat Baġdād SC vs Al Kahrabaa SC
BAGHDAD (Interstat) — Amanat Baġdād SC will look to snap a two-match winless streak when they host Al Kahrabaa SC on Friday in an Iraqi League clash.
The match, scheduled for May 15, 2026, pits two clubs seeking consistency in the middle of the league table. Amanat Baġdād (3-6-4 in its last 13 matches) enters off a 2-1 loss at Al Karkh SC on May 11. That defeat followed a 1-1 draw at Al Najaf SC on May 7 and a 2-2 draw at home against Al Qassim SC on May 2. Overall, the home side has managed just two wins in its past nine outings: a 2-1 victory over Duhok on April 12 and a 2-1 result against Al Karma SC on March 30. Defensive frailty has been a concern, with Amanat Baġdād conceding 26 goals during that 13-match stretch, including a 4-0 loss to Al Mina’a SC on April 21.
Al Kahrabaa SC (4-3-7 in its last 14 matches) arrives with some momentum after a 2-1 home victory over Newroz on May 11. That win snapped a five-match losing streak that included defeats to Al Quwa Al Jawiya SC (3-2), Al Karkh SC (3-1), and Zakho (2-1). Friday’s visitors have shown the ability to score, netting 17 goals over the same 14-match span, but have surrendered 24. The club’s only other victory in its past nine games came on April 5, a 3-0 shutout of Al Qassim SC. A 2-2 draw at Erbil on May 6 provided a rare bright spot on the road.
Interstat’s game simulator projects a tight contest, forecasting a 2-1 victory for Amanat Baġdād. Both teams enter with identical recent records in their last 15 matches — five wins apiece — but the home side may hold a slight edge in form and playing in front of its supporters.
Kickoff is set for Friday evening.
