Al Wahda and Al Quwa Al Jawiya get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this AFC Champions League Play-offs fixture.
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!
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Al Quwa Al Jawiya, who are travelling more than 1700 kilometers to play this game.
Al Wahda form and stats
Al Wahda's struggle is real here at King Abdullah Sports City with only 10 points collected from 12 Pro League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-1-8. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at King Abdullah Sports City, with the home team losing five in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Al Fateh game. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Wahda with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Al Raed game, 49 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Preceding that match was a Pro League defeat to Abha (1-4).
Wahda were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. The penalty miss from Luisinho in the defeat against Al-Ain was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
A decent goal production from Wahda in their home games so far, with 18 goals from 12 league matches. Wahda have conceded 29 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Al Quwa Al Jawiya form and stats
6 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Al Quwa Al Jawiya playing as the away team in the Iraqi League this season.
A quick return to home after this game, as Jawiya are hosting Al Diwaniya in the Iraqi League only three days away.
The visitors have scored 10 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Al Quwa Al Jawiya's manager B. Hamdan has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 5 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Wahda one win, zero draws and Al Quwa Al Jawiya one victory. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.Al Wahda missing players
