It's game day two of the Premier League campaign and everything to play for. Check out our thorough preview of Al Ahli-Al Duhail!
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
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!
Al Ahli form and stats
The previous season, Al Ahli's league statistics were 5 wins, 10 draws and 7 losses, producing 7th spot in the Premier League. From these 22 matches they scored 24 goals and gave away 39. Performing as the home side in the previous season Al Ahli generated 4-2-5 (win-draw-lost) with 14 goals and 24 conceded.
The Al Ahli goalkeeper Yazan Naim Hussein is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 225 minutes without conceding a goal in the Premier League.
Al Ahli are returning here after visiting Umm Salal and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Naimat scored the goal(s).
A 0-0 draw away before that, with Al Duhail the opponent.Al Duhail form and stats
Let's have a look at how Al Duhail performed last season in the Premier League: They landed a 2nd position in the league table after playing out 14 victories, 5 draws and 3 defeats. In total they scored 59 and conceded 24 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 7 - drew 2 and lost 2 with 30/12 goals scored/conceded.
Home advantage was not enough for Duhail in their previous game as they lost hosting Al Wakrah, 2-4. Before that loss this team had gained at least one point from eight league fixtures in a row. A loony fixture with heaps of goals last time out for Al Duhail, as mentioned above. 6 goals in total, will this game be as much fun?
