Wathba form and stats

Happy days for Wathba in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Al Sahel (placed 11th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Hottin the opponent.

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Wathba have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 35 games found in the database showing 15 Wathba wins, 13 draws and seven defeats.

Last season, Wathba's league statistics were 17 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, resulting in a 2nd position in the Premier League. Over these 26 matches they scored 45 goals and conceded 13. Playing at home last season Wathba managed 10-2-1 (win-draw-lost) with 25 goals and 4 conceded.

Horriya form and stats

The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Horriya, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Wathba game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. A depressing five defeats in a row for Horriya in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Foutoua.

The manager was unhappy after their last game, a Premier League match played at their home ground Al Jalaa Stadium. Horriya suffered a 0-1 loss to Wahda (placed 5th).

Nobody expects Horriya to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath 50 times before, with the overall statistics of won 14, draw eight and lost 28. When defeated, 14 matches have been lost by two or more goals.

Let's have a look at how Horriya performed last season in the Premier League: They landed a 16th position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 4 draws and 21 defeats. In total they scored 29 and conceded 58 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 2 and lost 12 with 12/36 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last nine meetings): Wathba won three games, three matches ended with a draw and Horriya has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / seven
