The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Najran are in the 9th position while the guests worry at 16th.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Najran form and stats
With {0 Division 1 wins}, 4 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Najran are certainly not brimming with confidence.
The Najran goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 196 minutes without conceding a goal.
A good away victory last time out for Najran, who won 1-0 against Al Taqdom (placed 19th). The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Al Quadisiya.
The lack of attacking qualities in Najran means that they have only scored 3 goals in 6 league home games, less than half a goal per match. 6 goals have been conceded.
Hottain form and stats
Hottain have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Division 1, after 1-2-4 (7 played).
Hottain play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-5 to Al Ta'ee (placed 7th). A 1-2 loss hosting Al Batin before that.
Hottain lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.
The attacking power of Hottain when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Hottain have conceded 11 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
