National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Al Nassr or Al-Ain that keep their silverware dream alive.
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!
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Al-Ain, who are travelling more than 800 kilometers to play this game.
Al Nassr form and stats
Nassr was eliminated in the final last season in the Kings Cup.When playing at home in the Pro League, Al Nassr have managed 5 wins, 3 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 11 games.
A strong away win for Al Nassr against Al Ahli the last match, as A. Hamdallah and Abdulelah Al-Amri were on target. Before that, Nassr played out a Pro League draw 1-1 when visiting Al Ittifaq.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Al Batin are coming to town in four days.
A decent goal production from Al Nassr in their home games so far, with 20 goals from 11 league matches. Nassr have conceded 15 in these home matches.
Al-Ain form and stats
They also participated in Kings Cup last season. This ended in the 16th finals.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al-Ain so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-7 (win-draw-lose).
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Al Quadisiya in their previous outing. The Pro League match ended in a draw 3-3. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Al Faisaly in the Pro League.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Al Quadisiya was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Al-Ain find the net regularly in their away games. 12 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. For Al-Ain, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
