The Al Zawraa vs Al Shorta Bagdad prediction for this Stars League clash on Oct 23 at 15:00 sees the home side enter as marginal favorites. Based on head-to-head records, recent form, and league standings, Al Zawraa has a 38% win probability, the draw is at 35%, and Al Shorta Bagdad has a 27% chance of victory.
Al Zawraaโs last five matches show mixed results: L, D, L, W, W. Their most recent Stars League outing was a 0-1 loss away at Ghaz Al Shamal on Oct 18. Before that, a 1-1 draw at Qatar SC in the AGCFF Champions League and a 0-3 defeat at Duhok. Home form has been more reliable, with a 2-0 win over Al Gharraf FC on Sep 17 and a 0-1 away victory at Al Quwa Al Jawiya.
Al Shorta Bagdad bring stronger consistency with a D, W, D, W, W run over their last five. They drew 1-1 at home with Al Karkh on Oct 18, won 2-3 at East Bengal in the AFC Champions League Two, and played a 0-0 draw at Al Talaba. Home wins against Al Kahrabaa (2-0) and Al Seeb (1-0) complete a solid spell.
The head-to-head record favors Al Zawraa historically: 6 wins, 2 draws, and 3 wins for Al Shorta Bagdad across 11 meetings. However, recent encounters tell a different story. In the last five matches, Al Shorta Bagdad have won three (1-2 on Apr 13, 2026; 1-2 on Feb 26, 2026; 0-1 on Apr 22, 2025), with two draws (0-0 on Feb 8, 2025; 2-2 on Feb 11, 2024). Al Zawraa have not beaten Al Shorta Bagdad in this sample.
Al Zawraa sit 4th in the Stars League overall with 18 points from 10 matches (5 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses). Their home form is excellent: 3rd with 13 points from 5 home games, scoring 11 goals and conceding 0. Al Shorta Bagdad are 6th with 17 points (4 wins, 5 draws, 1 loss). Away, they rank 6th with 7 points from 4 matches, scoring 4 and conceding 3. The six-point gap between them and Al Karma (1st, 24 points) adds pressure for both sides.
Al Zawraa has a 38% chance of winning, the draw has a 35% probability, and Al Shorta Bagdad has a 27% chance. These percentages are derived from the available odds (inverse of bookmaker odds, normalized to remove margin) and adjusted for head-to-head trends, Al Zawraaโs strong home defensive record, and Al Shorta Bagdadโs recent unbeaten run. The draw is a significant possibility given Al Shorta Bagdadโs four draws in ten league games and the two stalemates in the last five H2H meetings.
Bookmaker odds present two contrasting views. One bookmaker prices a home win at 3.25, the draw at 1.90, and an away win at 3.30, indicating a strong draw bias. Another quotes 2.50 for Al Zawraa, 3.10 for the draw, and 2.55 for Al Shorta Bagdad, suggesting a more open contest. Based on the stats, the most likely outcome is a low-scoring draw. Al Zawraaโs perfect home defense will be tested by an Al Shorta Bagdad side that has avoided defeat in four of their last five league matches.
