The Premier League season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Al Arabi and Al Sadd promises to be an interesting one.
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.
Al Arabi form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Al Arabi's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 3 points.
The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus Al Sailiya (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) in the QSL Cup last time out and are looking for a win here. Ahead of that match, Al Arabi won a home game hosting Al Kharitiyath (2-1).
A disappointing finish for Al Arabi in their match versus Al Sailiya (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.
Arabi are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Qatar SC awaits in four days.
Al Arabi has the goal stats of 3-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Al Sadd form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (20) in Premier League, on their Premier League travels is 4 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Sadd are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Sadd play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-4 to Al Gharafa (placed 4th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Al Wakrah wasn't a success with a 0-5 loss.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Al Gharafa was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Sadd are scoring goals for fun in their league games away this season, having clocked up more than three goals per game on average (20 goals from 5 away games). It's not easy to score on Al Sadd as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Arabi, one draw and nine wins for Al Sadd. Over 2,5 goals: nine times; under 2,5 goals: one game.Top Goalscorers
