Al-Ahly Merowe form and stats

Al-Ahly has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager and the players.

The Al-Ahly Merowe fans got no joy from their last match, a Sudan Premier League game also here at Al-Merreikh Stadium: A 0-2 defeat against Alamal Atbara (placed 7th).

Heartbreak before that as Al-Ahly lost 0-2 at Al Hilal Port Sudan's place.

Al-Ahly Merowe has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. Al-Ahly are not conceding a lot of goals here at Al-Merreikh Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 12 matches. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Al Merreikh form and stats

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 3 draws and only 0 losses in the Sudan Premier League. Things are running smoothly for Merreikh who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 22 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Al Hilal Kadougli.

Merreikh are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the Sudan Premier League against Al Ahli Khartoum (placed 14th).

Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Al Shorta.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Merreikh manager L. Clark as the team has another away game coming up in only one day, this time against Al Hilal Omdurman.

The Merreikh manager L. Clark has got the team scoring on the road, with 20 away goals in 10 league matches. The Merreikh defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (5 goals in 10 games).

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Al Merreikh - Al-Ahly Merowe 1-0. Last seven meetings between the teams: Al-Ahly won zero, Al Merreikh won five and two draws. four games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.
