Naft Maysan form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Naft Maysan so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-8 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Naft Maysan's last three away games as they have all been lost.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Al-Qasim wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Observe! Both sides have scored at least once in 9 of this club's last 11 league fixtures.

Naft Maysan are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 14 away goals from 13 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Naft Maysan have conceded 24 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
