Insights:
  • Shorta have conceded at least twice as many corners as they have won at home.

Shorta form and stats

Shorta's results here at Al Jalaa Stadium in the Premier League have been very modest with 3 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats.

Shorta's last game was hosting Hottin (placed 10th) and winning 2-1.

Before that match, a win away at Al-Horgelah.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Shorta have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won three, drawn three and lost three.

Shorta have scored 9 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. Shorta have conceded 17 from these games. Shorta has at home met teams with this table position (low), two times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.

Hottin form and stats

Hottin have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 3-1-7 (11 played). Bitter travels for Hottin as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Wahda match.

Hottin are travelling again after losing away to Shorta in their previous match (1-2).

A loss against Foutoua was the result prior to that, in a home game.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hottin playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were one Hottin win, one draw and four defeats.

The attacking power of Hottin when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 11 league matches away. 14 goals have been conceded by Hottin in these games.

Head 2 Head

It's not the first time these teams meet on the pitch this campaign, as the history books show this recent match: Shorta - Hottin 2-1. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Shorta victories, three draws and five Hottin wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
