12th- against 8th position might not feel all that juicy. Fear not: Here's the data that makes Al Sailiya - Al Ahli (even) more action-packed!
- Al Sailiya have the fewest scored goals (12) in Premier League
- Al Ahli have the fewest matches over the total-line (3) in Premier League
Relegation threatens Al Sailiya who should definitely be looking for some points here. Al Ahli is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Al Sailiya and Al Ahli.
Al Sailiya form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Al Sailiya have only managed 0 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses from their games here. Sailiya are slowly digging their own grave here with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Al Khor match.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Qatar SC last time out and are looking for a win here.
Before that match, a win away at Umm Salal.Al Sailiya has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 3 goals from 9 games. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.
Al Ahli form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Ahli so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 1-6-2 (win-draw-lose).
Ahli play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Al Shamal (placed 9th).
A 2-8 loss hosting Al Sadd before that.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Al Ahli playing away, we found six games. Results were two away wins, one draw and three home wins.
A quick return to home after this game, as Ahli are hosting Al Sadd in the Emir Cup only four days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Al Ahli as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Al Ahli have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.
