Competition: Saudi Arabia Division 1
Competition: Tue 29.March
Match begins: 15:30 (UTC)
Venue: Al Khaleej Club Stadium (10000 seats)

Al Khaleej are stalking the top table positions while Al-Ain are more worried about steering clear of relegation. Expected home win or surprise away points?

Insights:
  • Al Khaleej have the most scored goals (46) in Division 1
  • Al-Ain have the fewest points (8) away in Division 1

These teams have little in common geographically as Al-Ain have to travel 1900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

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!

Al-Ain form and stats

Al-Ain have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Division 1, after 1-5-8 (14 played).

Al-Ain go into this game after a win, the home game against Al Sahel that ended 1-0.

A draw for Al-Ain before that, at their own venue hosting Al Akhdoud (1-1).

Al-Ain are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 7 goals from 14 away games. Al-Ain's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 21 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Al-Ain - Al Khaleej 1-1 was the outcome when these two participants previously played each other, earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last five meetings: zero - three - two (Khaleej wins - draws - Al-Ain wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
