In this week 16 match on Jan 7th, Al Ittihad will host Al Feiha in a meeting of these two Pro League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 25 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 1st placed Al Ittihad is fresh off their 3-2 win against Al Batin. Maurício struck first for Al Batin in the 5th minute, then Maurício tied it up for Al Ittihad on an own goal in the 8th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 93rd minute on a goal by Haroune Camara. Al Ittihad looks to continue their winning ways, having 7 wins in their last 10 matches, while al Feiha sits at 6th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against Al Ittifaq. M. Al Abdulmonam struck first for Al Feiha in the 33rd minute on a feed from Panagiotis Tachtsidis, then Naïm Sliti tied it up for Al Ittifaq in the 84th minute earning Al Ittifaq a comeback draw. Al Feiha is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, Al Feiha won by a score of 1 to 0. Panagiotis Tachtsidis struck first for Al Feiha in the 35th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Al Ittihad was frustrated by Al Feiha’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Al Feiha ended the match with the shutout victory.
Sami Al Khaibari and M. Al Abdulmonam are the top scorers for Al Feiha in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Both Romario Ricardo da Silva and Haroune Camara have been the hottest scorers for Al Ittihad in the last 5 each having scored 3 goals.
