Friends Club form and stats
The A Division season is young and Friends Club have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
The manager was unhappy after their last game, a A Division match played at their home ground Jaber al-Ahmad International Stadium. Friends suffered a 2-3 loss to New Road Team (placed 7th).
A 0-0 draw at Nepal Police's stadium before that.Friends are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. As opposed to that, Friends have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
