18th- against 11th position might not sound all that steamy. Fear not: Here's the facts that makes Al-Ain - Al Akhdoud (even) more action-packed!
- Al-Ain have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Al Akhdoud have the fewest matches under the total-line (5) in Division 1
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Al-Ain form and stats
When playing at home in the Division 1, Al-Ain have managed 4 wins, 8 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 13 games.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 180 minutes without scoring a league goal. Hammad was the last player to find the net.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Al-Ain, who played 0-0 against Al Draih. That match was also played at this venue (King Saud Sport City Stadium).
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Najran (0-1).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-Ain have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won four times, drawn five and lost one.
Al-Ain are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 13 games.
