The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Al Shoalah are in the 11th position while the guesting Al Taqdom worry at 20th.
Al Shoalah and Al Taqdom should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Al Shoalah form and stats
Overall Division 1 stats at home this season for Al Shoalah are 3-7-4 (wins-draw-losses). The Al Shoalah manager J. Maqueda might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
The Al Shoalah fans got no joy from their last match, a Division 1 game also here at Al-Shoalah Club Stadium: A 0-3 defeat against Al Ansar (placed 16th). In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Najran.
Al Shoalah are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 14 games. 14 goals have been conceded.
Al Taqdom form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Taqdom so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-10 (win-draw-lose). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Al Taqdom are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road. Three has not been a lucky number for Al Taqdom as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Al-Kawkab match.
There might be some fixture complaints from Al Taqdom as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Division 1 match against Al-Ain (1-3). A 1-2 loss hosting Al Mojzel before that.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Al Taqdom as they have only managed to score 11 times from 14 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Al Taqdom have conceded 26 goals in their away games.
