Al Khaleej form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Al Khaleej Club Stadium as Al Khaleej have scored 27 goals to get 34 points from 17 games. The overall stats in the Division 1 are 10-4-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Nanga was the last player to score a league goal for Al Khaleej and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Al Khaleej haven't scored in 260 minutes.

No payout for Al Khaleej in their previous match, an away game at Hajer that ended in defeat 0-2.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Bisha that finished 0-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Al Khaleej have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost five.

Khaleej have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Al Khaleej Club Stadium with 27 goals in 17 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Al Khaleej have only conceded 14 from their league home games.

Jeddah are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the fixture against Al Wahda (placed 4th).

Jeddah are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, four draws and two defeats. From a total of seven matches.
