Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Al Shabab & Dhamk face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Kings Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
These teams have little in common geographically as Dhamk have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Al Shabab form and stats
Last season their Kings Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.Al Shabab are steadily winning Pro League games and points here at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium. 5 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats is the summary from 7 games.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Al Shabab, as their goalkeeper Giedrius Arlauskis has completely shut out the opponents for 621 minutes in the Pro League.
The Al Shabab supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Al Raed in Pro League and win 3-0.
0-0 away at Al Faisaly before that.The Shabab manager Oliveira Chamusca has got the team scoring with 16 from 7 home games in the league. From these home matches, Al Shabab have conceded only 6 goals.
Dhamk form and stats
Dhamk's mission in Kings Cup last season failed in the 8th finals.3-2-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Dhamk in their Pro League matches away.
Dhamk has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Al Fateh for a Pro League game that ended a draw (5-5). Drawing 5-5 against Al Fateh after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 4-2. Their manager Režić needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As you can tell from the result, the match against Al Fateh was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 10 goals, will the fun continue today?
That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Al Feiha in the Pro League.Dhamk has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 13 goals from 7 games. Dhamk struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 13 goals conceded from these games.
