Bangladesh Police form and stats

Bangladesh Police have collected 15 points from their Premier League home games so far after 3-6-2. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Bangladesh after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The fans are hoping that Bangladesh will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Premier League game against Saif (placed 5th).

Before that, Bangladesh had a home game versus Arambagh which ended with a victory 1-0.

The Bangladesh fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 11 matches. 16 goals have been conceded.
