Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Al Nasar & Al Shabab face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Federation Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Al Nasar form and stats
Last season, Al Nasar's Federation Cup journey ended in the final.With 1 Premier League win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Al Nasar are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Nasar's previous game was also played at home, ending 4-1 versus Al Sahel. The home side are looking to build on that result.
2-2 away at Al Arabi SC before that.Al Nasar has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Nasar defense is not exactly impregnable. 11 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Al Shabab form and stats
Last season their Federation Cup adventure ended in the group stage.Al Shabab are yet to lose a point on their Division 1 travels this season with 3 wins from 3 away games.
Al Shabab had fun at their own home (Al Ramadi Stadium) last time out, beating Al Sulaibikhat 3-2.
A loss, in the Federation Cup away at Al Tadhamon, earlier.
The Shabab defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average ({1 goals} in 3 games).
Head 2 Head
Head to head totals (for the former ten meetings): Al Nasar won eight games, one match ended with a tie and Al Shabab have one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / five.
