Al Shabab form and stats

Al Shabab have played 7 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-3-2 (wins-draws-losses). Al Shabab are splitting points both home and away, currently holding an interesting streak of four drawn games in a row. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

Shabab manager and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Kazma in the Premier League. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Al Kuwait that ended 1-1.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Shabab, as the Premier League home game vs Al Qadsia is only three days away.

Shabab are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. 10 goals have been conceded.

Al Fahaheel form and stats

Al Fahaheel have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 2-0-4 (6 played). Visiting Al Fahaheel has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Al Fahaheel might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Al Arabi SC proved too strong as Fahaheel slumped to a 1-5 defeat in front of their own fans at Al Ahmadi Stadium. Before that, Fahaheel travelled to Kazma and returned home with a draw after the game finished 2-2.

Al Fahaheel lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.

After this away game Fahaheel return home for a Premier League game against Al Sahel. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Fahaheel as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. Fahaheel are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 5 times in 6 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
