Competition: Tue 25.May
Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: Hajer Club Stadium

Hajer should be favourites to win this home game against Arar, if the league table is anything to judge by. Or are we in for a surprise?

Insights:
  • Hajer have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Arar have the fewest scored goals in the first half (8) in Division 1

The hosts Hajer saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Division 1. Thankfully the previous game, versus Al Hazm, was also a home game here at Hajer Club Stadium. The away team is better rested.

Hajer are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Arar are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.

Hajer form and stats

The story so far in the Division 1 for Hajer at their home stadium (Hajer Club Stadium) is 7 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Hajer, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Hajer fans got no joy from their last match, a Division 1 game also here at Hajer Club Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Al Hazm (placed 1st).

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Najran.

The Hajer fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 18 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Hajer have conceded 19 goals.

Arar form and stats

There's been little loot from Arar's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 18 away games in the Division 1. Arar, who have the fewest points (9) away in Division 1, only have 1 win to counter their 11 defeats and 6 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Arar have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Al-Kawkab game.

Arar aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 320 league minutes without a goal. A. M. Al-Shammari was the last player to find the net.

There might be some fixture complaints from Arar as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Division 1 match against Al Jabalain (0-1).

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Al Adalh.

Goals are few and far between in Arar's away league games. Only 9 goals from 18 travels. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Arar have conceded 25 goals in these away matches.
