📏 Form Guide

Umm Salal

LLLLLL 🆘

Umm Salal will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 0-2 Stars League defeat in their last game at the hands of Al-Arabi.

Aaron Boupendza (59') and Youssef Msakni (61') scored for Al-Arabi.

Umm Salal have found it difficult to unlock defences of late. Their goals record equals just 2 vs opponents over their previous 6 fixtures. In those meetings, Umm Salal have also seen the tally of goals scored against them come to 17. That kind of pattern might not be sustained into this next game, however.

Al-Ahli

WWLLDD ⚖

In the game prior to this, Al-Ahli drew 0-0 in the Stars League tie with Al-Duhail.

A sequence of fairly weak displays from the Al-Ahli defence has resulted in a record of 18 goals being given up by them in only their last 6 outings. They definitely need to see an improvement in this unimpressive aspect of their play.

🤜🤛 Head to head

A quick look at their past head to head meetings going back to 01/11/2019 reveals that these fixtures have not been kind to Umm Salal. They have not managed to register any wins whatsoever while Al-Ahli have dominated them, getting wins in 67 per cent of those match-ups.

A total of 11 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 3 of them for Barzan Falcons and 8 netted by Al Ameed. That is an average goals per game value of 1.83.

The previous league contest featuring these clubs was Stars League match day 14 on 12/01/2022 when it ended Al-Ahli 2-1 Umm Salal.
