It's early days in the Premier League and both Al Gharafa and Al Kharitiyath are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Al Gharafa form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Al Gharafa's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Stadium.
Gharafa's previous game was a QSL Cup match also played at home, ending 3-1 versus Al Kharitiyath (placed 10th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A strong away win before that one, visiting Al Rayyan and winning 2-0.
Al Gharafa are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found one match and the win/draw/lost stats: Won one, drew zero and lost zero.
At Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Stadium, Al Gharafa has the goal stats of 3-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Al Kharitiyath form and stats
The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Al Sailiya game have they lost an away game, meaning Kharitiyath has taken points from eight away matches in a row.
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 1-3 versus Al Gharafa (placed 5th). That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Al Ahli.
You'll want to know how Kharitiyath managed when outsiders such as today. Our database found two similar matches resulting in zero away wins, zero draws and two home wins.
