There should be a significant contrast in performance between these teams based on results so far, with Al Riyadh ahead of Al Shoalah by 45 points.

Insights:
  • Al Riyadh have the most scored goals in the second half (33) in Division 1
  • Al Shoalah have the fewest scored goals (19) in Division 1

The season is still full of potential for Al Riyadh as they can still win the whole Division 1. For Shoalah it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Al Shoalah form and stats

There's been little loot from Al Shoalah's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 16 away games in the Division 1. Al Shoalah only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 7 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 16 away games in a row.

Molinga was the last player to score for the away team. Shoalah haven't scored a league goal in the last 274 minutes.

Al Shoalah are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Al Riyadh (placed 4th).

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Al Ahli Jeddah.

Low-scoring game? 8 of this side's last 10 league rounds have had two goals or less.

The attacking power of Al Shoalah when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 16 league matches away. 19 goals have been conceded by Shoalah in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

The fixture lists shows this result when the sides met previously this season; Al Shoalah - Al Riyadh 0-3. Head to head numbers (for the prior nine meetings): Al Riyadh won three games, zero matches ended in a draw and Al Shoalah managed six wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / five.
