After five games we know a little more about the qualities of Al Salmiyah and Al Nasar in this fresh Premier League season. Read our match preview!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Al Salmiyah form and stats
Al Salmiyah must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Premier League games here at Abdullah Al-Khalifa Stadium.
Salmiyah's last game was hosting Yarmouk (placed 15th) and winning 2-1. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Al Shabab the opponent.
Salmiyah are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. 3 goals have been conceded.
Al Nasar form and stats
Al Nasar are still undefeated on their travels in the Premier League. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
The Nasar goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 185 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Al Kuwait (placed 2nd) in their previous outing. The Premier League match ended in a draw 0-0. Prior to that result Nasar won their away game at Khaitan. The scoreline was 2-0.
It's early days yet, but Al Nasar has scored 2 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Salmiyah six wins, three draws and Al Nasar one victory. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.Al Salmiyah missing players
