Al-Bireh hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 13 points and a 9th position in the West Bank League table. Visiting Shabab Alsamu holds 7th place with 18 pts.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
This pitch has grass, which is not Shabab Alsamu's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Shabab Alsamu have performed like this: Played one match resulting in 0 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat with the goal stats 1-3 (scored/conceded).
Al-Bireh form and stats
Al-Bireh have played 7 West Bank League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-4-1 (wins-draws-losses). Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
The fans are hoping that Al-Bireh will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the West Bank League game against Shabab Al Am'ari (placed 4th). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Shabab Al Khaleel that ended 0-0.
As you see from the result above, Al-Bireh suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
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 Al-Bireh have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found one match with the results: Won zero, drawn one and lost zero.
