14 points separate the teams so far this season, Al Nassr having performed best. Can Al Wahda strike back?
- Al Wahda have the fewest points (11) at home in Pro League
- Al Nassr have the most scored goals in the second half (36) in Pro League
Al Wahda and Al Nassr should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Al Nassr have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Al Wahda form and stats
Al Wahda's results here at King Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in the Pro League have been very modest with 3 victories, 2 draws and 9 defeats. With eight home Pro League games in a row without a win, the Wahda fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Al-Ain game long ago, can be stopped today.
The spoils were shared in Al Wahda's previous game, also at home. Visiting Dhamk (placed 15th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. The hometeam coach M. Awad Al-Hadid made a successful contribution in the game against Dhamk, bringing on Hernâni who scored the equalizer in the 1-1 draw.
Before that match, a win away at Al Fateh.Wahda are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 14 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Wahda are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (31 from 14 played).
Al Nassr form and stats
5-3-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Al Nassr in their Pro League matches away.
Impressive finishing from Firas Al-Buraikan and A. Hamdallah (2) secured the home win 3-1 against Al Raed in their previous game.
Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Al-Ain.Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Nassr have scored 17 goals in 14 league games away. As opposed to that, Nassr have seen the ball go into their own net 18 times on the road.
