Al Khaleej Saihat's record is similar in shape – three wins, nine losses and 40 goals conceded – though they've found the net a touch more often. It's a mixed sample spanning competitions and even different seasons, so it's best read as a general trend rather than a precise form guide, but the trend itself is clear enough.

Comparative Team Statistics: Al Khaleej Saihat vs Al-Fayha

History leans towards Al-Fayha

Looking back over the last eleven meetings between these two, Al-Fayha have won five, Al Khaleej Saihat three, with three draws. The most recent match, back in January this year, went Al-Fayha's way, a 3-1 win, though Al Khaleej Saihat had beaten them in the meeting before that.

It's a fairly even head-to-head once you look past the overall win count, and none of it tells us much about where either side stands right now.

Both clubs stuck in the bottom half

After seven league games, Al Khaleej Saihat sit 13th with just five points from five draws and two defeats – they haven't actually won one yet. Al-Fayha are just above them in 12th, on six points from a single win, three draws and three losses.

Neither side has scored more than seven goals in that time, which says plenty about how stretched both attacks have been early on.

With so few wins between them, this looks like a game that could easily end level again.

What could shape this one

With both teams struggling to keep clean sheets and neither scoring freely, a tight, low-key contest wouldn't be a surprise. Al Khaleej Saihat's inability to win a league game so far this season stands out, but Al-Fayha's away form hasn't been much to shout about either.

If either side manages an early goal, it could be hard for the other to respond given how stretched both defences have looked this season.
