Match preview: 15 points are between the teams so far, Al Ittihad having done best. Will Al Batin take the guests by surprise?
- Al Batin have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Al Ittihad have the fewest conceded goals (10) in Pro League
This arena has artifical turf, which is not Al Ittihad's familiar surface at their own pitch. When playing on artifical turf Al Ittihad have performed like this: Played five matches yielding 3 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats with the goal difference 9-9 (scored/conceded).
These teams have little in common geographically as Al Ittihad have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
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 Batin form and stats
3 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Al Batin have to build on here at Al-Batin FC Stadium in the Pro League.
Al Batin manager Horvat and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Dhamk (placed 3rd) in the Pro League.
Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Al Hazm.The Batin fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 7 matches. 8 goals have been conceded.
Al Ittihad form and stats
3-1-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Al Ittihad in their Pro League matches away. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Ittihad hope to make it five in this match.
Camara (2) and Sahafi scored in Al Ittihad's previous match, the home game against Al Ittifaq that ended 3-2. What a finish in the last match, as Ittihad came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through Camara's goal in the 85th minute. Camara came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Al Ittifaq last time out, making the manager Contra feel like a tactical genius.
Preceding that game was the away Kings Cup victory against Al Fateh with the score of 3-2.The visiting Ittihad have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 7 goals from 5 games. Ittihad are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 4 times in 5 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
