Al Ansar form and stats

2-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Al Ansar so far this season. Ansar has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Sour Stadium. We remember; it was Shabab Al Sahel.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Al Ansar, as their goalkeeper Nazeeh Asaad has completely shut out the opponents for 486 minutes in the Premier League.

Al Ansar's previous game was also played at home, ending 3-0 versus Bourj. The home side are looking to build on that result.

Before that, Ansar played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Al Ahed.

Al Ansar has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches.

Shabab El Bourj form and stats

1 win, 0 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Shabab El Bourj playing as the away team in the Premier League this season. With the Shabab El Bourj losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Shabab lost away at Tadamon Sour (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Shabab Al Sahel wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.

The attacking power of Shabab El Bourj when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 5 league matches away. Shabab are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 4 goals in these matches.
