• There is a clear but slim favourite here. Erbil is the shortest price on a book of 2.07 / 3.15 / 3.08 (1 / X / 2), an implied 42.9%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 42.9% / 28.2% / 28.9% on an overround of 12.5%.

• The draw is unusually well backed at 3.15 (28.2%), which normally points to a cagey, low-scoring game rather than an open one.

• Money has come for the draw: the price has shortened from 3.78 to 3.22, a move of 17.4%. Steam like that on the day of the game usually reflects team news the wider market has not caught up with yet.

• Erbil to win has drifted from 1.47 to 1.86 (21.0%). Layers are happy to take that side on, which is worth respecting.

• Erbil read D-W-W-D-W-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (4W 2D 0L) — a strong recent run.

• Diyala read L-D-D-L-W-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (2W 2D 2L) — patchy.

• Head to head the record reads 3-2-1 — Erbil wins, draws, then Diyala wins. Their last meeting finished Erbil - Diyala: 2-0.

• The read: Erbil at 2.07 is the side the market is with, and nothing in the data above argues against it. The late money is pointing the same way.
