Al Jabalain form and stats

The story so far in the Division 1 for Al Jabalain at their home stadium (Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa'ed Stadium) is 5 wins, 6 draws and 3 defeats.

The Al Jabalain crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-3 to Al Ansar here at Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa'ed Stadium in a Division 1 match. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Al Quadisiya.

A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Al Ansar) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-3.

The Al Jabalain fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 14 matches. 16 goals have been conceded.

Al-Kawkab form and stats

Al-Kawkab have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Division 1, after 3-2-8 (13 played). Three has not been a lucky number for Al-Kawkab as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Al Bukayriyah match.

Home advantage was not enough for Al-Kawkab in their previous game, as they lost their Division 1-match, hosting Jeddah, 1-2. A 0-1 loss hosting Al Nahdha before that.

The attacking power of Al-Kawkab when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 13 league matches away. As opposed to that, Al-Kawkab have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Al-Kawkab - Al Jabalain 0-2 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Al Jabalain one win, zero draws and Al-Kawkab two victories. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.
