Al Ittihad form and stats
The story so far in the Pro League for Al Ittihad at their home stadium (King Abdullah Sports City Reserve Stadium) is 7 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats.
A strong away win for Al Ittihad against Abha the last match, as A. Prijović and Abdulelah Al-Malki were on target.
Before that, Ittihad played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Dhamk.Al Ittihad are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 14 games. From these home matches, Ittihad have conceded only 12 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Al-Ain form and stats
There's been little loot from Al-Ain's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 14 away games in the Pro League. Al-Ain, who have the fewest scored goals (31) in Pro League, only have 1 win to counter their 10 defeats and 3 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Al-Ain have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Dhamk game.
Al-Ain are travelling again after losing away to Al Shabab in their previous match (1-5). Al-Ain lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.
A 0-2 loss hosting Al Nassr before that.The attacking power of Al-Ain when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 14 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Al-Ain have conceded 31 goals in these games.
