This match features two teams living in the basement of the Division 1, Al Taqdom holding 17th place and Al-Kawkab lying 15th. 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!
Al Taqdom form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Division 1 this season. Al Taqdom have only managed 3 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Al-Najma Club Stadium.
In their previous game, the manager M. Al-Saeed led his Al Taqdom to a defeat in the Division 1 match away at Al Bukayriyah. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Al-Najma Club Stadium. Preceding that game was the away draw at Al Ansar that finished 1-1.
Al Taqdom have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. Al Taqdom have conceded 19 from these games.
Al-Kawkab form and stats
There's been little loot from Al-Kawkab's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 11 away games in the Division 1. Al-Kawkab only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw.
The manager M. bin Mansharik was unhappy after their last game, a Division 1 match played at their home ground Al-Shoalah Club Stadium. Al-Kawkab suffered a 3-5 loss to Al Quadisiya (placed 2nd). Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Al Jeel's place.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Al Quadisiya was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today?
The visitors have scored 8 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Al-Kawkab have conceded 16 goals in these away matches.
