With their 8 point advantage in the league table, Al Shabab fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Al Jahra.
- Al Jahra have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Shabab and Al Jahra.
Al Shabab form and stats
Al Shabab's struggle is real here at Al Kuwait Sports Club Stadium with only 6 points collected from 6 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-2.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 221 minutes without scoring a league goal. Abd Al Mohsen Al Turkmani was the last player to find the net.
Shabab drew their last game, also a home match. Al Arabi (placed 6th) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Al Qadsia (0-2).
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Al Shabab have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won zero times, drawn two and lost zero.
Shabab are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Shabab defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Al Jahra form and stats
Al Jahra have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-2-3 (6 played). With the Al Jahra losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Al Jahra seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
The manager was unhappy after their last game, a Premier League match played at their home ground Al Shabab Mubarak Alaiar Stadium. Jahra suffered a 2-3 loss to Khaitan (placed 9th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Al Nasar wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
We have checked recent matches where Jahra have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those two games were zero victories, one draw and one defeat.
Jahra are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 6 away games. As opposed to that, Jahra have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Al Shabab one win, three draws and Al Jahra six victories. As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.Al Shabab missing players
