Al Ittihad are welcoming Dhamk for another important game after their 2-1 result against 4th-placed Al Taawon.

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.

Al Ittihad form and stats

Al Ittihad's struggle is real here at King Abdullah Sports City Reserve Stadium with only 8 points collected from 8 Pro League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-4. Al Ittihad have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Happy days for Al Ittihad in their previous game, a Pro League match away at Al Taawon (placed 4th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Al Raed the opponent.

The Al Ittihad fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 8 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Al Ittihad defense is not exactly impregnable. 12 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Dhamk form and stats

There's been little loot from Dhamk's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 8 away games in the Pro League. Dhamk, who have the most conceded goals (34) in Pro League, only have 0 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Dhamk have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Hajer game. Dhamk has showed their ability to avoid defeat with four draws in a row, but are also dodging victories. They last avoided the draw 44 days ago, in the Abha fixture.

There were no winners in Dhamk's previous match, a Pro League home game that ended 1-1 vs Al Adalh (placed 14th). Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Al Nassr.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Dhamk's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 8 matches. Dhamk are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 3 goals in these matches.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Dhamk - Al Ittihad 2-1 earlier this season.
