The Dhamk manager N. Zekri attacks this game with the team placed 16th so far. In the visitors dressing room Al Faisaly and their manager P. Oliveira Chamusca are in 3rd place before this match.
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!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Al Faisaly have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 12-5-14 (win-draw-loss) from 31 matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as Al Faisaly have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Dhamk form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Pro League game of the season here. Last season these fans witnessed 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses from Dhamk's 15 home games. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Dhamk to get some points in this home game.
In their previous game, the manager N. Zekri led his Dhamk to a defeat in the Pro League match away at Al Hilal. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Al Quadisiya (1-2).
Dhamk has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Al Faisaly form and stats
Al Faisaly are still undefeated on their travels in the Pro League. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
Faisaly play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Al Wahda (placed 13th). Before that, Faisaly secured a home win against Al Batin with the score 2-1.
Abdullah Al Qahtani came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Al Wahda last time out, making the manager P. Oliveira Chamusca feel like a tactical genius.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Al Faisaly has managed 3 goals and let in 2 from 2 matches.
