Iraq Basketball league Live Betting Odds

The Iraqi Professional League continues to be a tightly contested affair as the season reaches a pivotal stage. Al-Difaa Al-Jawi and Zakho SC have established themselves at the top of the standings, both boasting an impressive 9-1 record. The competitive nature of the tournament remains high as mid-table teams fight to secure favorable playoff seeding.

Title Race

The league crown is currently a two-horse race between Al-Difaa Al-Jawi and Zakho SC. Both sides are heavy title favourites, having consistently outperformed the rest of the field throughout the regular season. While Al-Difaa Al-Jawi remains a benchmark for the competition, their recent 70-69 loss to Zakho SC highlights just how narrow the gap is at the summit of the table.

Fixtures in Focus

The league schedule remains busy as teams push for position. Recent action saw Al-Difaa Al-Jawi secure a dominant 116-61 win over Amal Nineveh SC, reinforcing their status as a force to be reckoned with. Other matchups, including Al-Hashd Al-Shaabi's 83-61 victory over Al Kahrabaa, further demonstrate the competitive divide between the top-tier sides and the rest of the league.

Down the Table

At the opposite end of the standings, sides like Ghaz Al-Shamal and Nift Al-Shamal are facing a difficult campaign with limited points to show for their efforts. These teams are currently struggling to maintain rhythm, finding it increasingly challenging to bridge the gap to the mid-table pack as the intensity of the competition persists.
