Al-Ittihad form and stats

Al-Ittihad are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Professional League, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (0 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses). It's three draws from Al-Ittihad's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

Al-Ittihad has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Al Oruba (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) for a Sultan Cup game that ended a draw (0-0).

The attacking power of Al-Ittihad when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Al-Ittihad as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
