Pro League: Al Raed are 3 points behind Dhamk, but are driven to go full throttle. Bring it on!
- Al Raed have the most dropped points from leading position (21) in Pro League
- Dhamk have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
It's no vacation for neither Raed nor Dhamk as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Al Raed form and stats
4 victories, 2 draws and 7 defeats. That’s what Al Raed have to build on here at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in the Pro League. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Al Raed after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Al Raed's last game was hosting Dhamk (placed 9th) and winning 4-0. As mentioned above, Raed "killed" Dhamk in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Heartbreak before that as Al Raed lost 1-2 at Al Taawon's place.This is expected to be a close game, with Al Raed perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Al Raed as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Al Raed has won 5 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.
Goal party? We don't know the future, but we do know that 13 of the 14 latest league matches with this side has seen three goals or more.
Raed are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 13 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 25 goals have been conceded.
Dhamk form and stats
The visitors are W4-D3-L6 on the road this term. That's in the Pro League.
There might be some fixture complaints from Dhamk as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-4 against Al Raed. Dhamk lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Al Wahda at their stadium, the result 2-0.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Dhamk playing away and similar expectations, we found 9 relevant matches. Results were 3 Dhamk wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Dhamk have scored 16 goals in 13 league games away. 19 goals have been conceded by Dhamk in these games.
Head 2 Head
The previous head to head game ended Dhamk - Raed 1-2, played this season. Head-2-head stats last nine meetings: five - one - three (Al Raed wins - draws - Dhamk wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
