Competition: Saudi Arabia Division 1
Date: Tue 23.April
Match begins: 12:40 (UTC)

The visiting Al Khaleej side should be favourites in this visit to Al-Kawkab, as the away team holds a 14 point advantage from their 33 league games this season.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

This stadium uses grass, unlike Al Khaleej's home stadium. The visitors last 24 games on grass have ended in 6 wins, 10 draws and 8 losses. It's quite the trip for Al Khaleej when visiting Al-Kawkab as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.

Al-Kawkab form and stats

Al-Kawkab have collected 20 points from their home games so far after 6-2-8. Three consecutive losses here is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

A good away victory last time out for Al-Kawkab, who won 2-1 against Al Qaisoma. Preceding that match was the home game against Najran that was lost 1-2.

Al-Kawkab are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 20 goals in 16 matches. Al-Kawkab have conceded 23 in these home matches.

Al Khaleej form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Khaleej so far with only 16 points returning home. The records show 3-7-6 (win-draw-lose).

The supporters enjoyed Al Khaleej's previous game versus Hajer, a Division 1 3-2 win played at home. Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Dhamk's place.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Al Khaleej as they have only managed to score 14 times from 16 away games. As opposed to that, Al Khaleej have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.
