Al Shabab vs Al Najma: match statistics
Al Shabab, despite a lower position in the table, presents decidedly better form and statistics compared to Al Najma. The hosts win 29% of home matches and maintain a positive goal difference at their own stadium (-3 GD), whereas the visitors have not achieved a single away victory this season (0% Win%) and concede an average of 2.25 goals per match. Al Najma loses 88% of their away matches, confirmed by a streak of eight consecutive away defeats.
