Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Karama in 8th and Al Ittihad in 5th place.
Karama and Al Ittihad 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.
8-9-8 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Al Ittihad 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 25 matches are 40-38 (scored/conceded).
Karama form and stats
Overall Premier League stats at home this season for Karama are 4-4-2 (wins-draw-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Karama with their four defeats in a row.
