With their 7 point advantage in the league table, Fanja fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Al Oruba.

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.

Fanja form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Fanja's two home games in the Professional League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Seeb Stadium.

Happy days for Fanja in their previous game, a Professional League match away at Oman Club (placed 4th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Al Nasr (2-3).

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 Fanja have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won 5 Drawn 1 Lost 0.

Early season league goal statistics from Fanja's 2 home games: 2 goals, 1 conceded.

Al Oruba form and stats

No Professional League points yet away for Al Oruba, from their first 3 matches. With the Al Oruba losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the Al Oruba manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Al Oruba failed to get anything from their last game, a Professional League home match vs Al Nasr (placed 11th) that ended with defeat 1-2. Prior to that match, the Al Oruba manager faced defeat when travelling to Saham and losing 1-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Al Oruba playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were 1 Al Oruba win, 2 draws and 6 defeats.

Al Oruba are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. In the opposite end, Al Oruba have conceded 5 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Fanja won 6, Al Oruba won 2 and 2 draws. 4 games with over 2,5 goals, 6 matches with two goals or less.
