Insights:
  • Al Sailiya have the fewest scored goals (14) in Premier League
  • Al Gharafa have scored more than double the goals of Al Sailiya.

Al Sailiya are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Al Gharafa is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

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, 6 draws and 4 losses from their games here. With ten home Premier League games in a row without a win, the Sailiya fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Al Khor game long ago, can be stopped today.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Premier League home game that ended 2-2 versus Al Ahli.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Al Sailiya have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won two times, drawn four and lost one.

Sailiya have scored 5 league goals here from 10 matches, not a lot. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Al Sailiya have conceded 11 in these home matches.
