There's been little loot from Al Shoalah's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the Division 1. Al Shoalah only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws. It's looking increasingly bleak for Al Shoalah who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Al Hazm was the last time a defeat was avoided.

A tale of few goals? 10 of this side's last 13 league matches have seen two goals or less.
