Statistical Context and League Trends
Data from the Iraqi League over the last four years reveals that home teams win 38.5% of matches, while away teams win 28.9%, and draws occur 32.7% of the time. Both teams scored in 48.1% of games, and 66.3% of matches saw over 1.5 goals. However, only 39.1% featured over 2.5 goals, and 15.8% had over 3.5 goals. These numbers align with the under 2.5 goals prediction for this match, as the league tends to see lower-scoring affairs.
For Al Kahrabaa, 67.6% of their last 102 games had over 1.5 goals, and 44.1% had over 2.5 goals. In contrast, Al-Karma’s last 74 matches saw 59.5% with over 1.5 goals and only 35.1% with over 2.5 goals. Both teams scored in 46.1% of Al Kahrabaa’s games, compared to 33.8% for Al-Karma. This suggests Al-Karma is more defensively solid, which supports the under 2.5 goals tip.
Recent Form and Head-to-Head Insights
Al Kahrabaa has won 4 of their last 10 matches, averaging 1.6 goals scored and 1.7 conceded per game. Eight of those matches saw over 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency for open play. However, their defense has been leaky. Al-Karma, meanwhile, won 3 of their last 10, averaging 1.2 goals scored and only 0.6 conceded. Just 3 of their matches had over 2.5 goals, highlighting their defensive discipline.
In their last head-to-head on June 28, 2025, Al Kahrabaa won 4-1, with odds favoring them at 2.66. However, on May 6, 2026, Al Kahrabaa managed a 2-2 draw against Erbil as heavy underdogs (odds 6.3), showing resilience. This mix of results suggests Al Kahrabaa can perform above expectations, but Al-Karma’s recent defensive form makes a low-scoring draw or narrow home win plausible.

The odds for a home win are 3.65, while a draw is priced at 3.2, and an away win at 1.9. The AI’s top tip of 1X (home win or draw) at 1.68 offers a balanced risk-reward, given Al Kahrabaa’s home advantage and Al-Karma’s defensive strength.
