Match Outcome
Considering Naft FC’s strong home record and Al Zawra’a SC’s recent struggles on the road, the likeliest outcome appears to be a narrow victory for Naft FC. The betting market should reflect an edge for home wins, with odds favoring Naft FC to not only win but also keep a clean sheet.
Over/Under Goals
With both teams capable of scoring but also showing defensive vulnerabilities, the Over 2.5 goals market is tempting. However, Naft’s preference for controlling possession and Al Zawra’a’s cautious approach might lead to fewer than expected goals. The Under 2.5 goal market could yield value, especially if the game revolves around tactical discipline rather than open play.
Both Teams to Score (BTTS)
Historical data indicates that while Al Zawra’a SC are capable of finding the net against defensive setups, Naft FC has a solid defensive record at home. This suggests a potential for BTTS, though it may lean towards the ‘No’ side if Naft’s defense can stifle the visiting attackers.
First Goal Scorer
Among Naft FC’s ranks, striker Amin Khamis has been particularly lethal in front of goal. His current form makes him a strong candidate for the first goal. On the opposing side, Al Zawra’a’s forward, Omar Al Kasim, known for his quick breaks, could also pose a threat early in the match.
