Al Raed and Al Taawon have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Pro League.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Pro League.
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
Al Raed form and stats
2-0-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Pro League numbers at home for Al Raed so far this season.
The Al Raed supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Al Wahda in Pro League and win 3-2. A strong away win before that one, visiting Dhamk and winning 1-0.
There will be little rest for Al Raed after this match as they are travelling to Hajer for a Kings Cup game in only four days.
The Al Raed fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Al Raed with 9 goals conceded in these matches.
Al Taawon form and stats
No Pro League points yet away for Al Taawon, from their first 3 matches. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Al Taawon's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Al Taawon are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the Pro League against Al Shabab (placed 5th). Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Al Faisaly.
A new game in only four days for Al Taawon, the Kings Cup home match versus Al-Lewaa. Busy days.
