Al Khaleej form and stats

When playing at home in the Division 1, Al Khaleej have managed 5 wins, 5 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 16 games. It's been an uphill battle for Khaleej in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Al Adalh game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Al Khaleej to get some points in this home game.

Khaleej haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 180 minutes ago. S. Al Najrani scored that one.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Al Feiha (0-5).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Khaleej as they are travelling to their away game against Al Nahdha in the Division 1. That match is four days after this one.

Al Khaleej are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 16 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 21 goals have been conceded.

Arar form and stats

There's been little loot from Arar's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 15 away games in the Division 1. Arar, who have the fewest scored goals (8) away in Division 1, only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 6 draws.

The Arar goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 199 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 21 goals have been conceded by Arar in these games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Arar - Khaleej 2-3 played earlier this season.
