Al Ittifaq oppose Al Khaleej for kudos and triumph.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Al Khaleej, who are travelling more than 900 kilometers to play this game.

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!

Al Ittifaq form and stats

Al Ittifaq have only played one Pro League game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats from 15 matches.

A good away victory last time out for Al Ittifaq, who won 2-0 against Al Hazm (placed 17th). Quaison has beaten the opponent goalkeeper in four matches in a row. Ace!

Before that, Al Ittifaq had a home game versus Al Nassr which ended with a victory 2-1.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Al Ittifaq's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 7 games, won 3 matches, drawn 3 and lost 1.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Ittifaq as they are travelling to their away game against Al Hilal in the Pro League. That match is four days after this one.

At Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium, Al Ittifaq has the goal stats of 2-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

Al Khaleej form and stats

Al Khaleej have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Pro League were 3 victories, 2 draws and 10 defeats from 15 fixtures.

Home advantage was not enough for Al Khaleej in their previous game as they lost hosting Al Ahli Jeddah, 1-3.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Al Feiha wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

It's early days yet, but Al Khaleej has scored 1 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Previous six meetings with these participants: Ittifaq won five, Al Khaleej triumphed in one and we saw zero draws. four games with over 2,5 goals, two matches with less than 2,5 goals.
