Competition: Jordan Premier League
Competition: Thu 25.August
Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)
Venue: King Abdullah International Stadium (25000 seats)

The home team stadium regulars await a victory in this match, and the home advantage should work against a struggling visitor. Sahab are in 5th place while the guesting Al Jazeera panic at 12th.

Insights:
  • Sahab have the fewest scored goals (12) in Premier League
  • Al Jazeera have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Sahab form and stats

Sahab, who have the fewest scored goals (12) in Premier League, have played 7 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-4-1 (wins-draws-losses).

Sahab's previous match was a Jordan Cup game also played at home, finishing 1-0 versus Al Wehda. The home team are looking to build on that result.

Before that, Sahab drew at home versus Al Wihdat.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Sahab have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 7 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 2 and lost 2.

The Sahab fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. On the other hand, Sahab have conceded 8 goals.

Al Jazeera form and stats

There's been little loot from Al Jazeera's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the Premier League. Al Jazeera only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw.

The supporters enjoyed Al Jazeera's previous game versus Rabaa Serhan, a Jordan Cup win (6-0) played at home.

Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Aqaba's place.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 5 similar matches played by Al Jazeera in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Al Jazeera, 0 draws and 3 defeats.

Jazeera have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 8 goals have been scored. The Al Jazeera manager Tu'aimeh has some worries about the defense as 15 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Sahab have avoided a loss in the last 4 games (0-4-0) facing Al Jazeera.

The previous head-to-head encounter ended Al Jazeera - Sahab 0-0, earlier this season.
