Dhamk form and stats

Dhamk have played 14 Pro League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-5-4 (wins-draws-losses).

Dhamk's last game was hosting Abha (placed 11th) and winning 1-0.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Al Hilal (0-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Dhamk have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 5 and lost 2.

It should be noted that a glance at the 12 most recent league matches reveals that 9 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored).

The Dhamk fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 14 matches.

Abha form and stats

There's been little loot from Abha's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 14 away games in the Pro League. Abha only have 3 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 0 draws. It's all red in the travel logs of Abha, having lost nine matches in a row as the visiting team.

There might be some fixture complaints from Abha as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-1 against Dhamk.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Al Ittifaq.

We have checked recent matches where Abha have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 15 games were 2 victories, 1 draw and 12 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Abha as they have only managed to score 12 times from 14 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Abha have conceded 25 goals in these games.
