Insights:
  • Al Faisaly has the fewest scored goals in the first half (6) in Pro League
  • Al Taawon has the fewest conceded goals in the second half (4) in Pro League

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!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Al Taawon 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 2-2-1 (win-draw-loss) from five matches.

Al Faisaly form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Pro League this season. Al Faisaly have only managed 1 win, 4 draws and 2 losses from their games here at Al Faisali Club Stadium. The last three games played by Faisaly, regardless of arena, have all ended draws. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Al Hilal in the Pro League last time out and are looking for a win here. Preceding that game was the away draw at Al Shabab that finished 1-1.

Al Faisaly are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.

Al Taawon form and stats

2-3-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Al Taawon in their Pro League matches away.

Taawon are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the Pro League against Dhamk (placed 15th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Al Hilal wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

It's hard not to mention L. Tawamba's lethal finishing against Dhamk. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Al Taawon are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 7 times in 8 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
