Erbil SC Team Overview
Erbil lost 0-1 at home to Mosul in their last Iraq League match . Despite having 63% possession and outshooting their opponents 17-8, they failed to score.
Erbil are closer to the top of the table and have shown far more consistent results at the start of the season. Over their last five matches they have won two, drawn one and lost two; their overall record across ten matches is even more convincing. The visitors' average scoring rate is considerably higher - 1.5 goals per game with one conceded across their last ten fixtures points to a balance between the team's lines.

Prediction for the 1st half
Erbil have been remarkably productive in the first half away from home, scoring in the opening 45 minutes in 10 of their last 11 away matches, which is reflected in this trend. That figure is backed up by Erbil's high overall scoring rate on the road. The bet on Erbil to Score in the 1st Half at 2.00 looks justified.
Match Result Prediction
Zakho are in very poor form, having failed to win in 8 of their last 9 matches, which is reflected in the corresponding trend. This season they have just two wins and five defeats, while Erbil have lost only two of their ten matches. On that basis, the Double Chance - X2 (Erbil not to lose) at 1.3 looks a logical bet.
Total Goals Prediction
Zaho average just 0.7 goals per match this season and 1.0 at home. Their average over the last 10 home matches is also exactly 1 goal. The trend supports this further: in 6 of their last 7 matches, Zaho scored fewer than 1.5 goals. This suggests that Zaho Team Total - Under 1.5 Goals looks a reasonable call at odds of 1.36.
High-Risk Bet
Erbil have won the first half in 10 of their last 11 away matches. That record points to the visitors making strong starts. Despite Zakho playing at home, a bet on Erbil to win the first half at 2.88 could be considered a justified risk.
Safer Bet
In 7 of their last 8 home matches, the Total Goals - Under 3.5 line has come in for Zakho, which supports the trend. Neither side tends to score freely either: Zakho average 1 goal per home match, while Erbil concede just 0.25 per away game. With that in mind, Total Goals - Under 3.5 at 1.21 looks a reliable option.

Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely scorelines are 0-1 (13.13%), 1-1 (12.91%) and 0-0 (12.45%). The first of these carries the highest probability among the top three, though the margins between them are small. This reflects an expectation of a tight, low-scoring match.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
The match looks likely to be shaped by the difference in attacking quality: Zakho consistently score very little even at home, while Erbil are capable of converting their chances thanks to better organisation up front and a solid defence. The hosts have no strong reasons to break out of their poor form right now; even home fixtures have done little to sharpen their play in the final third. The visitors remain motivated to keep pushing for the upper reaches of the table at this early stage of the season, which further increases the likelihood of their success against an inconsistent opponent who have won just once in their last five matches. The editors' pick is Erbil - Draw No Bet.
