Al Arabi form and stats

The previous season, Al Arabi's league results were 13 wins, 10 draws and 11 losses, results that produced 6th place in the Division 2. During these 34 matches they scored {43 goals} and let in 43. Appearing as the home team in the former season Al Arabi produced 6-6-5 (win-draw-lost) with {18 goals} and 17 conceded. The hosts won their first Division 1 game here at Department of Education Stadium, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Al Arabi last season were 6 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses from 17 games.

A nice win for Al Arabi last time playing, versus Jeddah. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Al Hazm (0-1).

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 Arabi have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Al Arabi at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Hajer form and stats
