Sahab form and stats

Sahab have collected 14 points from their Premier League home games so far after 3-5-2.

A nice win for Sahab last time playing, versus Al Sareeh. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0. A huge relief, as that was the first league victory after playing, but not winning, seven matches in a row.

Before that game, the home loss against Shabab Al Ordon with the scoreline 1-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Sahab perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sahab as a small favourite), we find 9 games. Sahab has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.

The Sahab fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 10 matches. Sahab's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 11 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Ma'an form and stats

There's been little loot from Ma'an's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 10 away games in the Premier League. Ma'an only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw.

Ma'an have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper. It's been 181 minutes since they last conceded in Premier League.

It's the second away game in a row for Ma'an, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Aqaba (placed 5th) last time out.

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Al Jazeera.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Ma'an playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 4 Ma'an wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Goal-happy betting people should observe that 10 of this side's 13 latest league matches have ended with three goals or more.

The Ma'an manager has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other before this match year: Ma'an - Sahab 2-1. Head-2-head stats last seven meetings: three - two - two (Sahab wins - draws - Ma'an wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
