The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Al Batin are in the 10th position while the guesting Al Fateh worry at 13th.
- Al Batin haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Al Fateh have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 2-2-6 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
