The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Al Arabi are in the 6th position while the guesting Al Khor worry at 10th.
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 Arabi form and stats
Al Arabi's results here in the Premier League have been very modest with 2 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats. With seven home Premier League games in a row without a win, the Al Arabi fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Al Shahaniya game long ago, can be stopped today. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Al Arabi.
The home team returns after being equal after 90 minutes with Al Sadd (placed 3rd) on their last time out; the Premier League game ended 1-1. 0-0 away at Al Shahaniya before that.
The Al Arabi fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 9 matches. Al Arabi have conceded 19 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Al Khor form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Khor so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-3 (win-draw-lose).
Al Khor go into this game after a win, the home game against Qatar SC that ended 2-0. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Al Rayyan.
The attacking power of Al Khor when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Al Khor have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Al Khor - Al Arabi 1-3. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Al Arabi, two draws and two wins for Al Khor. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
