Al Ittifaq have performed better than Al Wahda so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:

Insights:
  • Al Ittifaq have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their home matches.
  • Al Wahda has the fewest clean sheets (0) in Pro League

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 stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Al Wahda's home stadium. The visitors last five games on artifical turf have ended in 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses.

These teams have little in common geographically as Al Wahda have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Al Ittifaq form and stats

Overall Pro League stats at home this season for Al Ittifaq are 2-0-2 (wins-draw-losses).

It's back home for Al Ittifaq, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Al Quadisiya away with the result 2-1. S. Doukara and Ali Abdullah Hazzazi found the net in that victory. Before that match, a win away at Al Faisaly.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Ittifaq's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won two matches, drawn zero and lost zero.

A decent goal production from Ittifaq in their home games so far, with 6 goals from 4 league matches. Ittifaq have conceded 9 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Al Wahda form and stats

The visitors, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Pro League, are W2-D0-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Pro League. Momentum is building for Wahda in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

Two travels in a row for Wahda, whose manager I. Abreu Vieira could celebrate last time after the Pro League win against Abha. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Al-Ain.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Wahda playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and one home win.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Wahda are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 3 times in 4 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
