Al-Thuqbah form and stats

Al-Thuqbah, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) at home in Division 1, have played 11 Division 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-5 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Al-Thuqbah with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Al Nahdha game, 37 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Al-Thuqbah, their manager and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Al-Thuqbah faced defeat in their previous match, away at Al Feiha (2-3). Prior to that, an away loss at Ohod.

Al-Thuqbah have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium with 18 goals in 11 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Al-Thuqbah defense is not exactly impregnable. 18 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
