The visiting Al Salmiyah side should be favourites in this visit to Yarmouk, as the away team holds a 21 point advantage from their 17 league games this season.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Yarmouk and Al Salmiyah.
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
Yarmouk form and stats
With 0 Premier League wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Yarmouk are certainly not brimming with confidence. With eight home Premier League games in a row without a win, the Yarmouk fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Burgan game long ago, can be stopped today.
The Yarmouk crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-3 to Al Arabi here at Abdullah Al-Khalifa Stadium in a Premier League match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Al Kuwait (0-3).
Yarmouk are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 7 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Yarmouk with 14 goals conceded in these matches.
Al Salmiyah form and stats
Al Salmiyah have an excellent away record in the Premier League so far with 5-1-2 from 8 games. Momentum is building for Salmiyah in their away games, having won their two previous outings.
Al Salmiyah might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Al Kuwait proved too strong as Al Salmiyah slumped to a 1-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Thamir Stadium. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Al Sahel at their stadium, the result 4-0.
Salmiyah have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 19 goals from 8 away matches. As opposed to that, Al Salmiyah have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Al Salmiyah - Yarmouk 0-2 earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Yarmouk, zero draws and seven wins for Al Salmiyah. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
