Al Khor form and stats

With 1 Premier League win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Al Khor are certainly not brimming with confidence. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Khor to get some points in this home game.

Al Khor haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 206 minutes ago. Léo Gamalho scored that one.

In their previous game, the manager A. Lulz led his Al Khor to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Al Arabi. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Stadium. Before that game, the home loss against Al Rayyan with the scoreline 0-1.

The lack of attacking qualities in Khor means that they have only scored 3 goals in 6 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Khor have only conceded 4 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Umm Salal, who have the fewest scored goals (7) in Premier League, have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-3-4 (8 played). It's three draws from Salal's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Al Duhail with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Before that, Salal travelled to Al Gharafa and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Salal as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Salal have conceded 13 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
