Al Nahdha form and stats

All-inclusive Division 1 stats playing at home this season for Al Nahdha are 5-8-5 (wins-draws-losses).

In their previous game, the manager Araújo led his Al Nahdha to a defeat away at Ohod. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Al Shoalah (1-3).

This is expected to be a close game, with Al Nahdha perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Al Nahdha as a small favourite), we find 12 games. Al Nahdha has won 6 of these, drawn 4 and lost 2.

The Al Nahdha fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 18 matches. 19 goals have been conceded.

Al Kholood form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Kholood so far with only 17 points returning home. The records show 5-2-11 (win-draw-lose).

The attacking players of Kholood have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 198 minutes.

Al Kholood play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Jeddah (placed 12th).

A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Al Draih.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Al Kholood playing away and similar expectations, we found 7 relevant matches. Results were 3 Al Kholood wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
