Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Al Khaleej languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Al Ta'ee will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Al Khaleej and Al Ta'ee should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Al Ta'ee have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 1-0-4 (win-draw-loss) from five matches.
Al Ta'ee have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Al Khaleej form and stats
Al Khaleej, who have the fewest points (1) at home in Division 1, have played 5 Division 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). It's been an uphill battle for Al Khaleej in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Al-Ain game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
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. In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting Al Draih.
Al Khaleej are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 attempts. Al Khaleej have conceded 11 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Al Ta'ee form and stats
3-0-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Al Ta'ee in their Division 1 matches away. With the Al Ta'ee losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Al Ta'ee have lost on their last two travels.
Al Ta'ee play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-5 to Al Shoalah (placed 9th). Before that, Al Ta'ee secured a home win against Al-Washm with the score 2-1.
Al Ta'ee lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.
Al Ta'ee have scored 6 goals on their travels this season, from 6 away games in the league. Al Ta'ee have conceded 9 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Al Khaleej, 2 draws and 5 wins for Al Ta'ee. Over 2,5 goals: 4 times; under 2,5 goals: 6 games.Al Khaleej missing players
