Muktijoddha SKC form and stats

Muktijoddha SKC's struggle is real here at Bangabandhu National Stadium with only 4 points collected from 6 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-4. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Muktijoddha to get some points in this home game.

Muktijoddha are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Sheikh Jamal. Ahead of that match, Muktijoddha lost 0-1 at home to Abahani Chittagong.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Muktijoddha as they are travelling to their away game against Saif in the Premier League. That match is three days after this one.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Muktijoddha here at Bangabandhu National Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 6 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 10 goals have been conceded.

A quick return to home after this game, as Arambagh are hosting Sheikh Jamal in the Premier League only three days away.
