Season ticket holders at King Abdullah Sports City haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Al Ittihad languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting Al Faisaly will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
This pitch has grass, which is not Al Faisaly's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Al Faisaly have performed like this: Played 21 matches resulting in 7 wins, 4 draws and 10 defeats with the goal stats 34-32 (scored/conceded).
Al Faisaly have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Al Ittihad form and stats
Al Ittihad have played 5 Pro League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-0-3 (wins-draws-losses). We have seen two home losses in a row now for Al Ittihad, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Happy days for Al Ittihad in their previous game, a Pro League match away at Al Ittifaq (placed 13th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Before that game, the 4-0 home victory against Al Riyadh.
A decent goal production from Al Ittihad in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 5 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
Al Faisaly form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Pro League travels is 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Al Faisaly's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Al Faisaly play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-3 to Al Ahli (placed 3rd). Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Wajj.
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Al Faisaly have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
