Important face-off in the bottom section of the Pro League, with both Al Taawon and Al Faisaly going through more worry than glee. This match is a real "six-pointer" with the host team positioned 12th and the away team in 13th position.
- Al Taawon have the most conceded goals (39) in Pro League
- Al Faisaly have the the worst goal difference (-14) away in Pro League
10-8-16 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Al Faisaly when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 34 matches are 42-52 (scored/conceded).
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Al Taawon form and stats
Al Taawon, who have the most conceded goals (39) in Pro League, have collected 13 points from their Pro League home games so far after 3-4-4. When Al Taawon hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Al Ahli, Al Taawon, Al Batin, Al Ittifaq and Al Hazm), they have won 1 of 2 matches! The last three games played by Al Taawon, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.
The spoils were shared in Al Taawon's previous game, also at home. Visiting Al Fateh (placed 8th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline.
Before that, Taawon played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Al Ta'ee.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Al Taawon have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won eight times, drawn three and lost one.
Taawon are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 11 games. Al Taawon have conceded 15 in these home matches.
Al Faisaly form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Faisaly so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-7 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Al Faisaly have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Al Ahli game.
The regulars enjoyed Al Faisaly's previous game versus Al Hazm (placed 16th), a 1-0 win played at home.
A 0-1 defeat away at Al Batin before that.Faisaly are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and five defeats. From a total of eight matches.
Al Faisaly are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 4 goals from 11 away games. Faisaly's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 18 goals from these trips.
