Al Fahaheel are itching to get the points at their own stadium in the upcoming fixture vs Al Nasar.

Insights:
  • Al Fahaheel have the fewest scored goals in the second half (5) in Premier League
  • Al Nasar have the most points from losing position (11) in Premier League

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Al Fahaheel form and stats

Al Fahaheel have played 6 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-0-3 (wins-draws-losses). When Al Fahaheel hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Al Fahaheel, Al Sahel and Al Tadhamon), they have won 2 of 2 matches! Al Fahaheel has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager and the players.

Fahaheel haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 185 minutes ago. Rashidy scored that one.

The home regulars witnessed a 1-1 draw against Al Qadsia in the Emir Cup last time out and are hoping for a victory here.

In the game before, 1-1 away to Khaitan (after extra-time, 3-5 on penalties) (Emir Cup). 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 Al Fahaheel have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 11 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 4 and lost 2.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Al Fahaheel as they are travelling to their away game against Al Salmiyah in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.

The Fahaheel fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. Al Fahaheel have conceded 8 in these home matches. Al Fahaheel has at home met teams with this table position (low), two times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.

Before that one, the victory at home against Al Jahra in the Emir Cup (1-0).
