Al Orubah vs Al-Washm: Match guide and preview

Competition: Saudi Arabia Division 1
Date: Wed 17.April
Match begins: 13:15 (UTC)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the Division 1, Al Orubah holding 20th place and Al-Washm lying 18th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Al-Washm have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 2-1-3 (win-draw-loss) from six matches. Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Al Orubah form and stats

The story so far for Al Orubah at their home stadium is 4 wins, 7 draws and 5 defeats. All in all it has been a very rough period for Al Orubah who hasn’t won a game in their last 14 attempts. Their previous win was against Al-Thuqbah. With eight home games in a row without a win, the Al Orubah fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Al-Thuqbah game long ago, can be stopped today.

In their previous game, the manager B. Mukhtari led his Al Orubah to a defeat in the Division 1 match away at Al Mojzel. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here . Before that game, the home loss against Al Jeel with the scoreline 1-2.

The Al Orubah fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 16 in 16 matches. Al Orubah have conceded 18 in these home matches.
