A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Al Ittihad fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and Dhamk's 16th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Insights:
  • Al Ittihad has the fewest conceded goals in the first half (0) in Pro League

Al Ittihad form and stats

Overall Pro League stats at home this season for Al Ittihad, who have the fewest scored goals (5) at home in Pro League, are 2-2-1 (wins-draw-losses). Ittihad haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Al Ittifaq, 82 days ago.

A nice win for Ittihad last time playing, versus Al Shabab. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with A. Prijović and Romarinho scoring for the victors. Before that match, a Pro League win away at Al Batin.

The victory against Al Shabab came after A. Prijović's winning goal. The Ittihad manager F. Carille was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 73rd minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when A. Prijović scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time.

The Ittihad fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 5 matches. From these home matches, Ittihad have conceded only 3 goals.
