Al Taqdom are welcoming Hottain for another important game after their 2-2 result against 14th-placed Al Khaleej.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Relegation threatens Taqdom who should definitely be looking for some points here. Hottain are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Hottain form and stats

Hottain, who have the most conceded goals (62) in Division 1, have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Division 1, after 4-2-11 (17 played). Hottain seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Hottain might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Al Quadisiya proved too strong as Hottain slumped to a 3-5 defeat in front of their own fans at Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium. Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Najran.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Hottain, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hottain as they have only managed to score 13 times from 17 away games in the league. For Hottain, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

Hottain - Taqdom 0-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season.
