It's advantage Shabab Al Khaleel so far with their 2nd position in the West Bank League table, welcoming Ahli Al-Khalil who are placed 5th.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Shabab Al Khaleel form and stats
3 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Shabab Al Khaleel have to build on here at Hussein Bin Ali Stadium in the West Bank League. Two home wins in a row for Shabab Al Khaleel bring valid hopes of a third.
The home team returns to Hussein Bin Ali Stadium after being equal after 90 minutes with Al-Bireh (placed 9th) on their last time out; the West Bank League game ended 0-0. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Jabal Al Mukaber.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Shabab Al Khaleel have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found one game) they have won zero times, drawn zero and lost one.

Ahli Al-Khalil form and stats
2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Ahli Al-Khalil playing as the away team in the West Bank League this season.

Ahli Al-Khalil played 1-1 against Shabab Al Am'ari in their previous match. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Markez Balata.
Ahli Al-Khalil are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, one draw and zero defeats. From a total of one match.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Ahli Al-Khalil manager A. Sandouqa as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Shabab Alsamu.
Ahli Al-Khalil find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 7 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Ahli Al-Khalil have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
