Rahmatgonj MFS form and stats

With 2 Premier League wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Rahmatgonj MFS are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's trouble wherever Rahmatgonj are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

No payout for Rahmatgonj in their previous match, an away game at Baridhara that ended in defeat 1-2. Heartbreak for Rahmatgonj in their last match as Baridhara's S. Fozilov scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at L. Remi for missing a penalty kick versus Baridhara in the 57th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Bashundhara Kings.
