A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Al Ahli fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Al Kharitiyath's 11th place in the table will show on the pitch.
- Al Ahli has the most conceded goals in the first half (9) in Premier League
- Al Kharitiyath has the most conceded goals (18) in Premier League
Al Ahli and Al Kharitiyath should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Al Ahli form and stats
3 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Al Ahli, who have the most conceded goals (13) at home in Premier League, have to build on here in the Premier League.
The Ahli crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-4 to Al Gharafa here in a Premier League match. In the match before that, Ahli hosted Al Rayyan and drew the game 1-1.
Ahli were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Ahli has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. Ahli are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (13 from 6 played).
Al Kharitiyath form and stats
Al Kharitiyath, who have the most conceded goals (18) in Premier League, are still without points from their Premier League away games. 4 games, 4 defeats. Bitter travels for Al Kharitiyath as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Al Mesaimeer match. Three has not been a lucky number for Al Kharitiyath as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Al Khor match.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Kharitiyath, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Umm Salal (placed 9th). A 1-4 defeat away at Al Duhail before that.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Kharitiyath's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 4 matches. The Kharitiyath manager Y. Mahmoud has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.
