The season is still fairly new and the Premier League table has to be read with caution. So far Al Sulaibikhat find themselves in 14th position and Al Salmiyah are placed 7th.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier League.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Al Sulaibikhat form and stats
Al Sulaibikhat's first Premier League home game here at Abdullah Al-Khalifa Stadium ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from 8 matches. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Sulaibikhat with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Al Jahra game, 61 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Game days at Abdullah Al-Khalifa Stadium have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Sulaibikhat as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
The Sulaibikhat crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-3 to Al Sahel here at Abdullah Al-Khalifa Stadium in a Premier League match.
The defeat against Al Sahel was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored seven minutes into stoppage time (by Mohammad Otaibi).
Sulaibikhat are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Al Tadhamon awaits in four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Al Sulaibikhat at home in the league. 2 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Al Salmiyah form and stats
Salmiyah played 2-2 against Khaitan in their previous match. A draw for Salmiyah before that, at their own venue hosting Kazma (0-0).
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Premier League trip to Al Shabab.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Sulaibikhat two wins, three draws and Al Salmiyah five victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Al Sulaibikhat missing players
