This stadium has the surface grass, unlike Al Khaleej's home stadium. The previous 26 games by the away team on grass have produced 10 wins, 11 draws and 5 losses.

It's quite the trip for Al Khaleej when visiting Hajer as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.

Both teams have had plentiful rest since their previous match. Let's aim for an energetic match!

Hajer form and stats

8-6-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Division 1 numbers at home for Hajer so far this season.

Hajer lost their last game at Al Wahda (placed 3rd) after a 0-1 scoreline.

Ahead of that match, Hajer won a home game hosting Al Akhdoud (1-0).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Hajer have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost one.

The Hajer fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 16 matches. Hajer are not conceding a lot of goals here at Hajer Club Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 16 matches.
