Al Arabi form and stats

As the visiting team in Division 1 matches, Al Arabi have produced an overall stat of 6-4-5 so far. With the Al Arabi losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Arabi are looking to quickly end their 364 minutes long goal drought in the Division 1.

Two away games in a row for Al Arabi, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Al Shoalah. Unusual, but true: this team has played three consecutive league matches with the score 0-2!

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Al Faisaly.

Low on goals? 10 of this team's most recent 13 league matches have had two goals or less.

Al Arabi have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 15 league away games 21 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Al Arabi have seen the ball go into their own net 22 times on the road.
