Season ticket holders at Dashrath Rangasala haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Himalayan Sherpa languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting Sankata will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a A Division game only four days ago. That game, against Manang Marshyangdi, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Sankata.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Himalayan Sherpa form and stats
Himalayan Sherpa are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two A Division games here at Dashrath Rangasala. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Himalayan Sherpa, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Himalayan Sherpa's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 3-4 versus Saraswoti Youth (placed 14th). Preceding that match was the home game against Three Star that was lost 1-3.
A goal frenzy last time out for Himalayan Sherpa, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Saraswoti Youth. Fun stuff to watch!
Himalayan Sherpa has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 7 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Sankata form and stats
Things could have gone better for Sankata in their A Division away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Sankata play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Manang Marshyangdi (placed 3rd). Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Friends Club.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Sankata's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. As opposed to that, Sankata have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
