Al Akhdoud form and stats

Al Akhdoud have collected 18 points from their Division 1 home games so far after 5-3-4. Al Akhdoud has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager and the players.

Al Akhdoud are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Al Draih.

Before that game, the home loss against Al Kholood with the scoreline 0-1.

Akhdoud are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 12 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.
