The Division 1 league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Al Sahel and Al Najoom are placed 13th and 18th respectively.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Al Sahel form and stats
Al Sahel have played three Division 1 home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Three draws in a row here at Al Safwa Stadium for Al Sahel, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Najran in the Division 1 last time out and are looking for a win here.
The lack of attacking qualities in Al Sahel means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Sahel have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
Al Najoom form and stats
It's not happening yet for Al Najoom on their Division 1 travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Al Najoom seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
The attacking players of Najoom have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 251 minutes.
It's early days yet, but Al Najoom has scored 1 and conceded 7 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
