Al Khaleej form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Division 1 this season. Al Khaleej have only managed 0 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses from their games here. With eleven home games in a row without a win, the Al Khaleej fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Al-Ain game long ago, can be stopped today. Al Khaleej has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager S. Hilal and the players.

The Al Khaleej crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Al Najoom here in a Division 1 match. Heartbreak before that as Al Khaleej lost 1-2 at Al-Ain's place.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Al Khaleej here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (7 from 11 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Al Khaleej defense is not exactly impregnable. 17 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
