Boasting a 5 point dominance in the league table, Al Kholood regulars long to see their side win all points from this fixture versus Al Shoalah.

Insights:
  • Al Kholood have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
  • Al Shoalah have won significantly less corners away then at home.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Al Shoalah delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Al-Ain (placed 19th) in their previous match.

A 1-1 draw at Al Sahel's stadium before that.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Al Shoalah's away games in the league this season with only 8 goals from 11 matches.
