Al Najoom form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Najoom so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 3-5-9 (win-draw-lose). It could be a hat trick of victories away for Al Najoom, as they have won on their previous two travels.

Al Najoom's previous game was their home loss versus Al Jabalain (1-3). A loss against Al Quadisiya was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Najoom have scored 21 goals in 17 league games away. The Najoom manager H. Alsairai has some worries about the defense as 35 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Al Najoom - Ansar 2-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Last three meetings between the teams: Ansar won one, Al Najoom won two and zero draws. two games with over 2,5 goals, one match with two goals or less.
