Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Wahda in 5th and Al Ittihad in 9th place.
- Wahda have the most points from losing position (9) in Premier League
- Al Ittihad have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Wahda form and stats
26 points is a decent return from 12 Premier League games here for Wahda. The data says 7 wins, 5 draws and 0 losses. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Wahda are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 206 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Abd Alhadi Shalha).
Prior to that, an away loss at Karama.
Wahda are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 12 games. As for guarding their own goal, Wahda have only let in 4 goals at home.
Al Ittihad form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Ittihad so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-6 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of Ittihad, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team. Recent form does not give Al Ittihad much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Wahda will be a tough nut to crack.
There might be some fixture complaints from Ittihad as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Premier League match against Al Sahel (1-2). A 0-1 loss hosting Teshrin before that.
Ittihad are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 12 games (in the league). 16 goals have been conceded by Al Ittihad in these games.
