Al Ula presents a clear advantage in all key statistics. The hosts sit in 4th place with an impressive record of 10 wins and only 2 losses, while Al Arabi is in 16th position with just 3 wins and 12 defeats. At home, Al Ula holds a 56% win rate, averaging 2.33 goals scored against just 0.78 conceded, translating to a +14 goal difference. Al Arabi performs disastrously on the road – only 10% win rate, 60% loss rate, averaging 0.4 goals scored with 1.7 conceded, and a -13 balance. The visitors' form is alarming with a streak of 5 consecutive losses and no goals scored in the last 5 matches. Additionally, Al Arabi fails to score in 60% of away games, which, combined with the hosts' solid defense (33% clean sheets), practically rules out their chances for a favorable result.
