It's game two of the Permier League Play-offs season and important points to play for. Don't miss our thorough preview of A'Ali-Al Hala!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for A'Ali and Al Hala.
A'Ali form and stats
In the previous season, A'Ali's league stats were 10 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses, results that produced 3rd position in the Second Division. Over these 22 matches they scored {33 goals} and conceded 21. Playing as the home team in the former season A'Ali delivered 4-3-3 (win-draw-lost) with {15 goals} and 8 conceded.
A'Ali faced defeat in their previous match, away at Al Ittifaq Maqaba (2-3). Did A'Ali get overconfident in their match against Al Ittifaq Maqaba? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-3 defeat. The defeat against Al Ittifaq Maqaba was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored two minutes into stoppage time (by Yousef).
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Al Ittihad that ended 1-1.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for A'Ali as they are travelling to their away game against East Riffa in the Permier League Play-offs. That match is four days after this one.
Al Hala form and stats
Let's have a look at how Al Hala performed last season in the Premier League: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 6 draws and 11 defeats. In total they scored 22 and conceded {34 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 4 and lost 5 with 13/19 goals scored/conceded. One match played away so far in the Permier League Play-offs for Al Hala and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 2 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses from 11 games.
Al Hala has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to East Riffa for a 1-1 draw.
It was a Premier League defeat before that one as the away game against East Riffa wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.A new game in only four days for Hala, the Permier League Play-offs home match versus Al Ittifaq Maqaba. Busy days.
Al Hala have the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
