- Al-Ain have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
- Al Shoalah is in the worst form (0-3-3)
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
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-Ain form and stats
With 1 Division 1 win, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Al-Ain are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Sufyani was the last player to score a league goal for Al-Ain and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Al-Ain haven't scored in 192 minutes.
The spoils were shared in Al-Ain's previous game, also at home. Visiting Al Ahli Jeddah (placed 6th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline.
A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Al Riyadh.The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Al-Ain here at King Saud Sport City Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 6 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
Al Shoalah form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Shoalah so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-2 (win-draw-lose).
Al Shoalah have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 210 minutes ago. Batista was the goal scorer.
Shoalah play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Al Arabi (placed 4th). Late heartbreak for Al Shoalah in the Al Arabi match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime.
A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Al Hazm.Lacking goals? 10 of this side's most recent 11 league rounds have contained zero, one or two goals.
The visitors have scored 4 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's not easy to score on Shoalah as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
