Al Ansar is the clear favorite for this encounter, occupying first place in the table with an impressive record of 11 wins, 2 draws, and only 1 loss. The visitors display dominant away form with a 71% away win rate, averaging 2.57 goals scored while conceding just 0.43 goals per match. Safa, despite decent home form (63% home wins), falls short in quality - the hosts' goal difference stands at +5 in home matches, whereas Al Ansar boasts +15 on the road.
