Al Draih form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Division 1 this season. Al Draih, who have the fewest scored goals (12) at home in Division 1, have only managed 3 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses from their games here at Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz Stadium. Draih are slowly digging their own grave here at Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Al Adalh match. It's trouble wherever Draih are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Al Ta'ee) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-3. The defeat against Al Ta'ee was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored six minutes into stoppage time (by H. Al Jabeeri).

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Al Draih here at Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (12 from 17 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 20 goals have been conceded.
