National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Al Fateh or Al Akhdoud that keep their silverware dream alive.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1400 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
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!
Al Fateh form and stats
Last season, Al Fateh's Kings Cup journey ended in the quarter-finals.The story so far in the Pro League for Al Fateh at their home stadium (Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Sports City Stadium) is 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
The followers are hoping that Fateh will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against Al Ittihad.
Before that match, a Pro League win away at Al Khaleej.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Pro League game versus Al Wahda in only three days. This game is also played here at Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Sports City Stadium.
Al Fateh are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (7 from 3 played).
Al Akhdoud form and stats
Things could have gone better for Al Akhdoud in their Pro League away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Tawamba was the last player to score for the away team. Al Akhdoud haven't scored a league goal in the last 215 minutes.
Al Akhdoud might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Al Khaleej proved too strong as Al Akhdoud slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium.
The game before that, in the Pro League, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Al Ittihad.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Akhdoud manager Mendonça as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Al Raed.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Al Akhdoud are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
