Al Ittifaq form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Al Ittifaq's two home games in the Pro League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Paulo Victor de Mileo Vidotti not having conceded a league goal in 205 minutes.

The Ittifaq fans enjoyed the previous game, watching their team host Al Batin and win 3-0.

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Al Ittihad the opponent.

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 Al Ittifaq have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 0 and lost 8.

Al Ittifaq has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Al Raed form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Pro League ended in defeat. Last season Al Raed had these away match statistics: Played 15; won 3, drew 4 and lost 8.

Al Raed might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Al Ittihad proved too strong as Al Raed slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Stadium (King Abdullah Sport City Stadium).

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Al Wahda.

We have checked recent matches where Raed have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 8 games were 4 victories, 4 draws and 0 defeats.

Al Raed have the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Al Ittifaq have managed a sequence of 5 consecutive matches without defeat (3-2-0) when playing Al Raed.
