Here's another intriguing game in the Premier League. Rahmatgonj MFS is in the 12th position from featuring in three games. They host Sheikh Jamal who are placed 2nd from three matches.

Insights:
  • Rahmatgonj MFS have the most conceded goals (8) in Premier League
  • Sheikh Jamal have the the best goal difference (+3) away in Premier League

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Rahmatgonj MFS have less rest than Sheikh Jamal in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Premier League game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Abahani, so at least Rahmatgonj are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
