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 Shoalah in 11th and Al-Kawkab in 13th place.
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!
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Al Shoalah form and stats
Al Shoalah have played 8 Division 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-6-1 (wins-draws-losses). Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 242 minutes without scoring a league goal. The Al Shoalah goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 375 minutes without conceding a goal in the Division 1.
The points were shared in Al Shoalah's previous game, also at home. Visiting Al Bukayriyah (placed 4th) travelled back with a point after a 0-0 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Al Shoalah won a home game hosting Al Shabab (2-1).
The Al Shoalah fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 8 matches. From these home matches, Al Shoalah have conceded only 6 goals.
Al-Kawkab form and stats
There's been little loot from Al-Kawkab's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the Division 1. Al-Kawkab only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 0 draws.
Al-Kawkab's last game was the home draw against Najran (0-0). A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Ohod.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Al-Kawkab as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Al-Kawkab have conceded 10 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
Head 2 Head
