Al Adalh hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 17 points and a 16th position in the Pro League table. Visiting Al Ittifaq holds 10th place with 29 pts.
Adalh's stadium, Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Sports City Stadium, has a grass surface. Al Ittifaq have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Al Ittifaq when playing on grass; 3 wins, 7 draws and 17 losses from 27 matches. They have scored 31 goals in these games and conceded 55.
Al Adalh form and stats
Al Adalh's results here at Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Sports City Stadium in the Pro League have been very modest with 2 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats. With eight home Pro League games in a row without a win, the Adalh fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Abha game long ago, can be stopped today.
Happy days for Adalh in their previous game, a Pro League match away at Al Fateh (placed 14th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Heartbreak before that as Al Adalh lost 0-4 at Al Shabab's place.
Adalh are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 10 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 16 goals have been conceded.
Al Ittifaq form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Pro League travels is 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats.
Prior to that match, the Al Ittifaq manager K. Al Atawi faced defeat when travelling to Al Hilal and losing 0-1.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Al Feiha in just four days.
The travelling fans enjoy Ittifaq's attacking play in away games, having scored 18 goals in 10 league matches away. Ittifaq have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.
