We should have a pronounced gulf in performance between these teams based on the league table so far, with Abahani ahead of Baridhara by 11 points.

Insights:
  • Abahani have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Baridhara have the fewest matches over the total-line (0) in Premier League

This is a battle between neighbours, usually meaning extra nervousness and significance.

It's no vacation for neither Abahani nor Baridhara as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Baridhara form and stats

1 win, 0 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Baridhara, who have the the worst goal difference (-7) away in Premier League, playing as the away team in the Premier League this season. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Nasir, the Baridhara manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

There might be some fixture complaints from Baridhara as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-3 against Saif.

Preceding that game, the 2-4 loss visiting Abahani Chittagong's place.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Baridhara have scored 6 goals in 5 league games away. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Baridhara concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own. Baridhara has visited these top teams two times, and 2 of 2 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head
