Burgan form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Burgan, who have the most conceded goals (19) in Division 1, so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-4 (win-draw-lose). Recent form does not give Burgan much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Al Jahra will be a tough nut to crack.

Burgan play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Al Sulaibikhat (placed 2nd). Preceding that, the 2-6 home loss versus Khaitan.

The schedule is very tough for Burgan now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Division 1 game at Khaitan is waiting in only four days.

Burgan are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 6 away games. 7 goals have been conceded by Burgan in these games.

Head 2 Head
