Al Jahra vs Al-Fahaheel tips and predictions

Al-Fahaheel facing Crown Prince Cup reverse

The visitors are a level above this Al Jahra side.

Tread carefully when assessing this one but Al Jahra can ease past Al-Fahaheel.

You may disagree but Al Jahra might have reasons to be confident about adding to Al-Fahaheel's recent defeats. The losses have slowly been stacking up for this away squad over their last 10 fixtures. They've lost 5 times during these 10 starts. That might not be the right preparation.

A robust home team defence might be the key to victory for them. They've been keeping things tidy recently as they are only conceding an average of 0.6 goals over their last 9 games. It's been well documented that the visitors look a little leaky under pressure. Away from home Al-Fahaheel have conceded at least once in 14 of their last 15 campaigns. And when scoring chances have beckoned, the visitors haven't been at their best. They've scored one or less goals in 9 of their last 10 matches.

Al Jahra have won 8 of the last 12 fixtures between these sides. You can take it or leave it but the head-to-head stats point to another home win.

Playing devil's advocate they may end up in stalemate. Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out in a battle of attrition. It's not a strong view among today's fixtures but the No BTTS bet seems prudent. Looking into the goal line, it's no more than a single goal in this match considering the price on offer. Obviously all of this depends on how the hosts deal with a calibre of football they aren't used to.
