Al Wahda form and stats

Al Wahda have played 13 Division 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-5-4 (wins-draws-losses).

Happy days for Al Wahda in their previous game, a fixture away at Al-Kawkab (placed 19th) that ended with a 2-0 victory.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 3-3 versus Ohod.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Wahda's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won two matches, drawn zero and lost four.

The Al Wahda fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 13 matches. On the other hand, Wahda have conceded 15 goals.

Al Kholood form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Kholood so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 4-1-8 (win-draw-lose).

Al Kholood won their last game, 1-0 versus Bisha played at home.

Prior to that match, the Al Kholood manager faced defeat when travelling to Al Quadisiya and losing 0-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Al Kholood playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, zero draws and three home wins.

The visitors have scored 11 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Kholood have conceded 19 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
