Al-Shamal

WWLLDW

Al-Shamal will be looking for a repeat result of the 1-2 Stars League success vs Al-Khor.

In that game, Al-Shamal had 61% possession and 12 shots at goal with 7 on target. The scorer for Al-Shamal was Baghdad Bounedjah (18'). Al-Khor got 4 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. Sofiane Hanni (28') scored for Al-Khor.

It has been all too rare in recent games that Al-Shamal haven’t conceded. The facts show that Al-Shamal have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 7 goals in the process. We shall soon see whether or not that trend can be sustained in this game.

Al-Ahli

🤜🤛 Head to head

A study of their past head to head results stretching back to 03/11/2021 tells us that these encounters have not been kind to Al-Ahli. They have not been able to register any victories whatsoever whereas Al-Shamal have been the better of the two, finishing as winners in 67% of those games where they have faced each other.

A total of 14 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 10 of them from Al-Shamal and 4 for Al Ameed. That is an average goals per game value of 2.33.

The last league game featuring the two was Stars League match day 19 on 29/03/2024 when it ended Al-Shamal 2-1 Al-Ahli.

In that match, Al-Shamal managed 47% possession and 20 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target. Their only player on the scoresheet was Ricardo Gomes (65').

On the other side, Al-Ahli had 6 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target.

ℹ️ Team News: Al-Shamal

There is just a single fitness concern for the Al-Shamal gaffer Poya Asbaghi to be concerned with from an otherwise complete squad. Issa Laye (unknown injury) misses out.

🔮 Prediction

We’re thinking that Al-Ahli have enough to score a goal against this Al-Shamal side, however it may not be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re going for a 2-1 win for Al-Shamal after 90 minutes. Should be a good one.
