The season is still fairly new and the Premier League table has to be read with caution. So far Al Ahli find themselves in 3rd position and Al-Najma are placed 7th.
Al Ahli and Al-Najma should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 3700 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Al Ahli form and stats
0 victories, 0 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Al Ahli have to build on here at Sheikh Ali bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Stadium in the Premier League. Al Ahli are slowly digging their own grave here at Sheikh Ali bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Al Ittihad match.
The Al Ahli crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Busaiteen here at Sheikh Ali bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Stadium in a Premier League match. In the game before, an away victory match versus East Riffa with a 3-1 scoreline.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Al Ahli at home in the league. 1 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Al-Najma form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Premier League for Al-Najma with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Al-Najma, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus East Riffa (placed 6th). Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Al-Hidd.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Al-Najma's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. 4 goals have been conceded by Al-Najma in these games.
