Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Al Wihdat - Al Jazeera!
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Wihdat's stadium, Amman International Stadium, has a grass surface. Al Jazeera have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Al Jazeera when playing on grass; 20 wins, 12 draws and 10 losses from 42 matches. They have scored 69 goals in these games and conceded 49.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Al Wihdat form and stats
Al Wihdat, who have the most scored goals (21) in Premier League, have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Premier League. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
Happy days for Al Wihdat in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Sahab (placed 9th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Al Hussein.
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 Wihdat have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won two times, drawn two and lost one.
Al Wihdat have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Amman International Stadium with 5 goals in 3 league matches. From these home matches, Wihdat have conceded only 2 goals.
Al Jazeera form and stats
Things could have gone better for Al Jazeera in their Premier League away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Jazeera won their last game, 3-0 versus Ma'an played at home. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Al Salt's place.
Jazeera delivered their win in the match against Ma'an already in the first half, and could slow the play down in the final 45 minutes to ensure the glorious victory. A solid performance!
We have checked recent matches where Jazeera have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those two games were zero victories, zero draws and two defeats.
Jazeera have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 6 goals from 3 away matches. As for defending, Jazeera rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 5 goals from these away matches.
