Premier League: Top level against below par, at least that's what the table says. Al Gharafa - Al Khor. Home win or a shock?
- Al Gharafa haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- Al Khor have not yet lost a game away.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Al Gharafa form and stats
Al Gharafa have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Premier League. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
Al Gharafa faced defeat in their previous match, away at Al Sadd (4-6). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at S. Hanni for missing a penalty kick versus Al Sadd in the 29th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
3-3 away at Al Arabi before that.The Gharafa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Gharafa are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Al Khor form and stats
Al Khor are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (0 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses). Khor have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row.
There were no winners in Khor's previous match, a Premier League home game that ended 2-2 vs Al Ahli (placed 9th). The match against Al Ahli looked like a defeat for Khor, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 2-2. I. El Haddad equalized in the 88th minute.
A 2-2 draw at Al Sailiya's stadium before that.The schedule is very tough for Al Khor now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Al Shamal is waiting in only four days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Khor have scored 3 goals in 3 league games away. Khor have conceded 3 goals in these away matches.
