Al Jabalain form and stats

7 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Al Jabalain have to build on here at Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa'ed Stadium in the Division 1.

Plata was the last player to score a league goal for Al Jabalain and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Jabalain haven't scored in 296 minutes. Nothing to worry about in defence for Al Jabalain, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 320 minutes in the Division 1.

The Jabalain regulars got no joy from their last match, also played here at Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa'ed Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Jeddah (placed 15th). The first loss after going unbeaten through five league matches.

0-0 away at Hajer before that.

This is expected to be a close game, with Al Jabalain perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Al Jabalain as a small favourite), we find 4 games. Al Jabalain has won 1 of these, drawn 0 and lost 3.

The Al Jabalain fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 23 in 16 matches. Al Jabalain's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 21 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Jeddah form and stats

There's been little loot from Jeddah's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 16 away games in the Division 1. Jeddah only have 2 wins to counter their 12 defeats and 2 draws.

Jeddah play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Al Jabalain (placed 8th).

Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Al Faisaly.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Jeddah playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 5 Jeddah wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats.

The attacking power of Jeddah when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 16 league matches away. As opposed to that, Jeddah have seen the ball go into their own net 21 times on the road.
