This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier League, Umm Salal holding 10th place and Al Shahaniya lying 12th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Umm Salal form and stats
With 2 Premier League wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Umm Salal, who have the most conceded goals (20) at home in Premier League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
A good away victory last time out for Umm Salal, who won 2-1 against Al Wakrah (placed 7th). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Al Sadd.
Umm Salal have scored 6 league goals here from 8 matches, not a lot. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Umm Salal have allowed the opposition to score 20 goals here.
Al Shahaniya form and stats
Al Shahaniya, who have the most conceded goals (35) in Premier League, have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 0-2-6 (8 played). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on J. Murcia González, the Al Shahaniya manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Al Shahaniya lost away at Al Duhail (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Al Arabi.
Al Shahaniya are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 8 games (in the league). The opposition has been scoring high and low on Al Shahaniya's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 21 goals in 8 travels.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Al Shahaniya - Umm Salal 1-1. As for the last eight games between these two teams, there's two Umm Salal victories, four draws and two Al Shahaniya wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
