This could be an interesting match as Najran have their presumed home advantage while Al-Thuqbah are ahead 6 points in the Division 1 table.
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!
Najran form and stats
With {1 Division 1 wins}, 4 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Najran are certainly not brimming with confidence. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Najran, their manager M. Al-Ayari and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
A good away victory last time out for Najran, who won 2-0 against Al Najoom (placed 19th). Before that game, the home loss against Al Jabalain with the scoreline 0-1.
The lack of attacking qualities in Najran means that they have only scored 5 goals in 10 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Najran's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Al-Thuqbah form and stats
