Al-Najma form and stats

Disaster struck Al-Najma last season as they could not defend their status as a Premier League team. With 12 defeats from 18 games, and only 1 win, relegation could not be avoided. Al-Najma are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W0 D2 L7.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Al-Najma have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.

Qalali form and stats

Let's have a look at how Qalali performed last season in the Second Division: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 3 victories, 6 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 19 and conceded 25 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 2 and lost 4 with 9/10 goals scored/conceded.

Qalali are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.

Head 2 Head

Data for the previous two meetings featuring these two squads are: zero wins for Al-Najma, two draws and zero wins for Qalali. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
