An important duel in the bottom section of the Division 1, with both Al Ansar and Al Taqdom experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 18th and the visitors in 17th place.
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.
Al Ansar form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Division 1 this season. Al Ansar have only managed 2 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses from their games here. It's trouble wherever Al Ansar are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Al Ansar, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Al Ansar haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 236 minutes ago. A. Juhani scored that one.
The Al Ansar crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Ohod here in a Division 1 match. Prior to that, an away loss at Al Quadisiya.
Al Ansar have scored 7 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. Al Ansar's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 11 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Al Taqdom form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Taqdom so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 3-0-7 (win-draw-lose). Recent form does not give Al Taqdom much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Al Ansar will be a tough nut to crack. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Al Taqdom are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Al Taqdom failed to get anything from their last game, a Division 1 home match vs Al Quadisiya (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 1-3. Prior to that match, the Al Taqdom manager M. Al-Saeed faced defeat when travelling to Al Jeel and losing 0-2.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Al Taqdom as they have only managed to score 8 times from 10 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Al Taqdom have conceded 17 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
