Al Batin form and stats

Al Batin have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Pro League, after 1-3-8 (12 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Al Batin's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Al Batin's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Al Ahli that finished 2-2. As mentioned above, Batin drew the match against Al Ahli. Manager Horvat brought on Al-Aryani to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Al Raed.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Al Batin when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing one and winning one game.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As for defending, Batin rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 19 goals from these away matches. When Al Batin is visiting a side on the bottom half, 3 of 3 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Al Faisaly, Al Ta'ee, Al Batin, Al Ittifaq and Al Hazm.
