A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Al Bukayriyah fans are optimistic that the difference between 5th and Al Ansar's 18th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Al Ansar form and stats
There's been little loot from Al Ansar's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 11 away games in the Division 1. Al Ansar only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. A depressing four defeats in a row for Al Ansar in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Al Nahdha.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Al Ansar, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Jeddah (placed 8th). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Al Taqdom.
The attacking power of Al Ansar when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 11 league matches away. The Al Ansar manager has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.
