Al Sahel form and stats

As the visiting team in Premier League matches, Al Sahel have produced an overall stat of 4-1-2 so far.

Sahel failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Al Salmiyah that ended with defeat 3-5. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Al Nasar.

Leading 2-0 was not enough for Al Sahel in their fight with Al Salmiyah last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 3-5 loss. As you can tell from the result, the match against Al Salmiyah was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today?

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Al Sahel manager as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Al Fahaheel.

Al Sahel have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 10 goals have been scored. Sahel have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
