Al Nahdha fights Al Ta'ee in Division 1 battle

Competition: Saudi Arabia Division 1
Date: Tue 02.April
Match begins: 15:35 (UTC)

Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Al Nahdha in 13th and Al Ta'ee in 10th place.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on! There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are located only 0 kilometers from each other, at least in air distance. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Al Nahdha form and stats

Al Nahdha have played 15 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-3-6 (wins-draws-losses). It's trouble wherever Al Nahdha are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now. They really need to get back to winning ways. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Al Nahdha, their manager J. Rodríguez and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The Al Nahdha crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Hajer here in a Division 1 match. Heartbreak before that as Al Nahdha lost 0-2 at Dhamk's place.

Al Nahdha has scored 15 goals at home this season, in 15 matches. Al Nahdha have conceded 15 in these home matches.
