Recent Form

Al-Shamal SC have taken 3 wins and 2 draws from their last five matches and have not lost (W-W-D-D-W). Three wins put the hosts slightly ahead of their opponents when it comes to turning matches into points. Two draws in five also show that the team does not close out every game.

Al Duhail are also unbeaten over their last five, with 2 wins and 3 draws (W-W-D-D-D). Avoiding defeat is a positive sign, but three draws suggest the visitors have been better at keeping matches level than at winning them. In terms of form momentum, Al-Shamal SC hold a slightly higher win count, though the gap is small.

Goal Expectation and Key Stats

The most interesting part of this fixture is the difference in the two teams' goal profiles.

Al-Shamal SC: They score 2.4 goals per match and concede 1. The average total goals in their matches is 3.4, which shows that the hosts play lively games in which both nets are often troubled. Their Over percentages drop step by step: at the lowest threshold, Over landed in every match; at the middle threshold, in 60% of them; and at the highest threshold, in 40%. So goals are common in their games, but very high scores do not happen every week.

Al Duhail: They score 1.6 goals per match and concede 0.8, with an average of 2.4 total goals. The visitors have a stronger defensive average than the hosts and a lower attacking one. The Over percentages show a clear gap too: 100% at the lowest threshold, falling to 20% at the other two. This suggests that Al Duhail matches tend to be more controlled and slower in tempo.

Both teams to score: The BTTS rate is 80% for both teams. This shared figure shows that there is a notable chance of both sides finding the net. Al-Shamal SC's attacking average of 2.4 meets Al Duhail's defensive average of 0.8, while Al Duhail's attacking average of 1.6 meets the 1 goal per match that Al-Shamal SC concede. Where the averages overlap, a match with close to three total goals looks possible, though Al Duhail's controlled style could pull that expectation down.

The Over potential tag for this match sits at a weak/risky level. This can be read as a result of both teams' Over percentages falling sharply at higher thresholds and the visitors' tendency toward lower-scoring matches.

iTahmin Verdict

Based on the data, Al-Shamal SC hold a very small edge thanks to a higher win count, a stronger scoring average and home advantage. On the other hand, Al Duhail's sturdier defensive average and unbeaten run limit that edge. The high number of draws (2 for the hosts, 3 for the visitors) also keeps a balanced result firmly in the picture.

On goal expectation, the picture is moderate: the 80% BTTS rate for both teams supports the chance of goals at both ends, but Al Duhail's low Over percentages and the risky level of the tag limit expectations of a high-scoring game. In short, this looks like a match in which both sides can score but which may not be fully open. To follow the latest league context, keep an eye on the standings page.
