Struggling Yarmouk will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Al Kuwait in the upcoming league round. It’s 9th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Yarmouk form and stats

Yarmouk have played three Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Yarmouk drew their last game, 1-1 away at Al Sahel (placed 6th). Preceding that match was the home game against Al Qadsia that was lost 0-2.

There will be little rest for Yarmouk after this match as they are travelling to Al Arabi for a Premier League game in only four days.

The Yarmouk fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Yarmouk are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).

Al Kuwait form and stats

The seven points Al Kuwait have gathered from their first three away trips in the Premier League is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.

The Al Kuwait goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 265 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Al Kuwait play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-0 victory visiting Al Arabi (placed 10th). Prior to that match, a home win 5-0 against Al Sahel.

Al Kuwait 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. Al Kuwait are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 1 away goal have been conceded so far.

Head 2 Head
