Their last loss was the fixture versus Al Nasar, 129 days ago.

Opportunity lost for Arabi in the Al Qadsia match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. A goal frenzy last time out for Arabi, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Al Qadsia. Fun stuff to watch!

There will be little rest for Al Arabi SC after this match as they are travelling to Al Salmiyah for a Premier League game in only four days.
