Al Shorta SC vs Al Mina'a SC
BAGHDAD (Interstat) — Al Shorta SC hosts Al Mina’a SC on Tuesday in an Iraqi League matchup, with a game simulator projecting a 2-0 home win.
The match at Al Shaab Stadium is scheduled for June 2, 2026. Interstat’s simulator, which analyzes season form and historical data, forecasts Al Shorta to prevail. Al Shorta enters the game after a 2-0 victory at Al Karkh SC on May 28, a result that snapped a two-match winless streak. Prior to that, Al Shorta suffered a 2-0 home loss to Erbil on May 20. Overall, Al Shorta has shown resilience, posting wins against Diyala FC (2-0 on May 15), Newroz (3-0 on May 5) and Al Qassim SC (3-1 on April 22) among its recent fixtures. The club also drew with Naft Maysan (2-2 on April 26) and Al Karma SC (1-1 on April 17), while losing to Al Zawra’a SC (2-1 on April 13). Al Shorta’s season includes a 4-1 win at Amanat Baghdad SC on April 8 and a 3-1 victory at Al Najaf SC on April 4, but also a 3-3 draw with Al Quwa Al Jawiya SC on March 31.
Al Mina’a enters Tuesday’s contest on a four-match winless run. The Basra-based side drew 1-1 with Al Talaba SC on May 28, its third consecutive draw after 2-2 results against Zakho (May 24) and at Naft (May 14). Al Mina’a’s lone win in its last 10 league matches came April 21, a 4-0 home victory over Amanat Baghdad SC. That result was preceded by a 1-4 loss at Newroz on April 13, a 0-2 defeat at Al Kahrabaa SC on April 9 and a 1-0 loss at Naft Maysan on April 5. Al Mina’a also lost 1-0 at Al Karkh SC on March 30 and fell 2-0 at home to Al Zawra’a SC on May 10. The club played to 3-3 draws at Al Qassim SC on May 6 and lost 2-0 to Al Quwa Al Jawiya SC on May 2.
The simulator’s projection of a 2-0 Al Shorta win reflects the home side’s stronger recent form and defensive record. Al Shorta has kept three clean sheets in its last six outings, while Al Mina’a has scored only three goals in its last five matches. Tuesday’s game is part of the Iraqi League’s regular season schedule.
