Al Riyadh reset their brains and bodies for this game after their 3-1 result against Ohod, a game they learned a lot from. How will they do against Al Orubah?

Insights:
  • Al Riyadh have the most scored goals in the second half (32) in Division 1
  • Al Orubah have the fewest clean sheets (1) away in Division 1

Al Orubah have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

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!

W L W D D

Al Riyadh form and stats

Al Riyadh have played 15 Division 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-4-5 (wins-draws-losses).

A good away victory last time out for Riyadh, who won 3-1 against Ohod (placed 10th).

Preceding that match was the home game against Al Sahel that was lost 1-2.

The Al Riyadh fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 15 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Riyadh'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.

L L W L W

Al Orubah form and stats

The visitors are W5-D2-L8 on the road this term. That's in the Division 1. Al Orubah has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

The attacking players of Al Orubah have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 253 minutes.

This match can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus Hajer with 0-1 on the scoreboard.

A 0-1 defeat away at Jeddah before that.

Orubah have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 15 league away games 22 goals have been scored. Al Orubah's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 24 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Riyadh have avoided defeat in the last 10 matches (5-5-0) against Al Orubah.

The two combatants have met previously this season: Al Orubah - Al Riyadh 0-1.
