Al-Kawkab should be favourites to win this home game against Al Draih, if the league table is anything to judge by. Or are we in for a surprise?

Insights:
  • Al-Kawkab have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

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-Kawkab form and stats

When playing at home in the Division 1, Al-Kawkab have managed 6 wins, 6 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 17 games.

No payout for Al-Kawkab in their previous match, an away game at Al Ta'ee that ended in defeat 1-2.

Prior to that, an away loss at Al Shoalah.

Al-Kawkab are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 24 goals in 17 games. On the other hand, Al-Kawkab have conceded 21 goals.

Al Draih form and stats

The visitors are W7-D4-L6 on the road this term. That's in the Division 1. It's looking increasingly bleak for Draih who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Hajer was the last time a defeat was avoided.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Division 1 home defeat versus Jeddah with 0-1 on the scoreboard.

A 2-3 defeat away at Al Ta'ee before that.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Draih as they have only managed to score 15 times from 17 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Draih as they have only conceded 15 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Al Draih - Al-Kawkab 2-2 played earlier this season. As for the last three games between these two teams, there's zero Al-Kawkab victories, two draws and one Al Draih win. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, one match with two goals or less.
