Khaitan form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Division 1, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 5 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats from 8 matches. Khaitan seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

There might be some fixture complaints from Khaitan as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-1 against Al Shabab.

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Yarmouk's place.

Khaitan are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. From a total of 5 matches.

It's early days yet, but Khaitan has scored 3 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Shabab have put together a streak of 8 consecutive games without defeat (4-4-0) when facing Khaitan.
