Al Khor ended up with a 0-4 scoreline versus Al Shamal last game, a fixture to learn from. The next assignment is this robust Al Arabi team.
- Al Khor have the most conceded goals (20) in Premier League
- Al Arabi have not yet lost a game away.
Both sides have had sufficient rest since their last exertion in an official match. Let's hope for an animated match!
Al Khor form and stats
Al Khor have played three Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Stress levels are on the rise for Khor's attacking players as they have now played 182 minutes without scoring in a league game. I. El Haddad was their last goal scorer.
Al Khor faced defeat in their previous match, away at Al Shamal (0-4). Khor were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at I. Fetfatzidis for missing a penalty kick versus Al Shamal in the 85th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Al Gharafa (0-5).Khor has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Al Khor having conceded 8 goals here so far.
Al Arabi form and stats
The visitors are W3-D1-L0 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.
Arabi won their last game, 2-1 versus Al Rayyan played at home.
A 1-1 draw at Al Ahli's stadium before that.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Al Arabi manager Y. Rahmati as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Qatar SC.
Arabi are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 7 times in 4 away games so far. The Arabi defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (2 goals in 4 games).
