Nawaeir form and stats

Nawaeir's struggle is real here at Al Baladi Stadium with only 10 points collected from 11 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-4-5. When Nawaeir hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Teshrin, Wahda and Al Jaish), they have won 1 of 2 matches!

Nawaeir's latest game was also played at home, the amazing 1-0 win against big favourites Wathba.

Before that game, the home loss against Al Ittihad with the scoreline 0-1.

Nawaeir have scored 8 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Nawaeir have conceded 13 goals.

Wathba form and stats

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 1 draw and only 3 losses in the Premier League. It's a growing despair in Wathba as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Wathba have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 360 minutes ago. Bota was the goal scorer.

Wathba lost away at Nawaeir (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

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

The visiting Wathba have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 14 goals from 11 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Wathba as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

The most up to date logged result involving both these teams is the Nawaeir - Wathba 1-0 played not long ago this season. Data for the preceeding ten meetings between these two squads are: two wins for Nawaeir, four draws and four wins for Wathba. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
