Al Gharafa form and stats

Al Gharafa have played 4 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-0-1 (wins-draws-losses). The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here.

No payout for Gharafa in their previous match, an away game at Al Sadd that ended in defeat 1-4. A strong away win before that one, visiting Al Ahli and winning 4-0.

Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at S. Hanni for missing a penalty kick versus Al Sadd in the 35th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Goals are plentiful in the league this season as Al Gharafa has scored 11 goals here in 4 home games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Gharafa defense is not exactly impregnable. 6 goals conceded from 4 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Wakrah are travelling again after losing away to Al Khor in their previous match (0-1). A loss against Al Sadd was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Wakrah as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Wakrah have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Al Gharafa, two draws and four wins for Al Wakrah. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
