The visiting Wathba side should be favourites in this visit to Jabala, as the away team holds a 18 point advantage from their 14 league games this season.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a AFC Cup game only four days ago.
Jabala form and stats
Jabala's struggle is real here at Al-Baath Stadium with only 4 points collected from 6 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-4-2. So many draws at home for Jabala, an amazing four in a row now.

Jabala have scored 5 league goals here from 6 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
