Preview Al Khaleej vs Al Fayha
At Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz Stadium on Thursday, Al-Khaleej will play the away team Al-Fayha in a Professional League match.
Supporters of Al-Khaleej will be hoping for a rematch of their last performance, which was a 0-1 Professional League triumph over Al-Riyadh.
Al-Khaleej had 48% of the possession in that game and 4 of their 11 shots on goal were on target. Al-Riyadh had two shots on goal at the other end, but none of them were on target.
Al-Khaleej matches have recently proven to be exciting affairs with plenty of goals as a recurring feature. Both teams have scored 21 goals in total over their last six games (an average of 3.5 goals per game), with 10 goals coming from Al-Khaleej. That aside, only time will tell if this game continues to follow that pattern.
Al-Fayha will be looking to right the wrongs after suffering a setback to Al-Ahli Saudi in Professional League play the last time around.
Al-Fayha had 43% of the possession in that game and 2 of their 6 shots on goal were on target. Al-Ahli Saudi made 16 shots on goal, eight of which were on target. Al-Ahli Saudi scored goals through Feras Al Brikan (11′, 30′) and Riyad Mahrez (43′).
The fact that Al-Fayha has scored 25 goals in the last six games they have played, or an average of 4.17 goals per game, shows their penchant for high-scoring contests. Of this number, 14 have been managed by their opponents.
