Professional League: Tipsway are looking at an intriguing and highly important battle featuring Sur and Al Oruba at Sur Sports Complex. They both need three points!

Insights:
  • Sur have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Al Oruba have the most conceded goals in the first half (13) in Professional League

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

It's no vacation for neither Sur nor Al Oruba as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Sur form and stats

When playing at home in the Professional League, Sur have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 5 defeats from 10 games. When Sur hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Al Nasr, Al-Ittihad, Sur and Al-Bashaeer), they have won 2 of 2 matches!

The Sur crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Al Oruba here at Sur Sports Complex.

Heartbreak before that as Sur lost 1-4 at Al Suwaiq's place.

It should be added that a look at the 10 latest league fixtures reveals that 8 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the teams scored a goal).

The Sur fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 10 matches. Sur have conceded 11 in these home matches.
