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 Fateh are in the 7th position while the guesting Al Batin worry at 11th.
- Al Fateh has the most scored goals (14) in Pro League
- Al Batin have yet to win a game away.
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.
This pitch has grass, which is not Al Batin's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Al Batin have performed like this: Played 29 matches resulting in 11 wins, 2 draws and 16 defeats with the goal stats 35-52 (scored/conceded).
Al Fateh form and stats
Three Pro League home games done for Al Fateh, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Fateh, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The Fateh crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-3 to Abha here at Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Sports City Stadium in a Pro League match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Al Hilal (0-3).
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Fateh have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won one time, drawn two and lost two.
The Fateh fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Al Fateh having conceded 8 goals here at Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Sports City Stadium so far.
