Saraswoti Youth hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 4 points and a 14th position in the A Division table. Visiting Sankata holds 9th place with 15 pts.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
Saraswoti Youth form and stats
Zero (!) A Division points is the sad result after 5 matches here at Dashrath Rangasala. Can it change today? It's been an uphill battle for Saraswoti Youth in their home games for quite some time now, as five matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Bansbari game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Saraswoti Youth to get some points in this home game.
Saraswoti Youth's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Chyasal Youth Club (placed 8th). A defeat was the result before that one, 1-6 away at Machhindra.
The lack of attacking qualities in Saraswoti Youth means that they have only scored 2 goals in 5 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Saraswoti Youth with 11 goals conceded in these matches.
Sankata form and stats
2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of Sankata playing as the away team in the A Division this season.
The manager was unhappy after their last game, a A Division match played at their home ground Jaber al-Ahmad International Stadium. Sankata suffered a 1-3 loss to Machhindra (placed 1st). A 0-1 defeat away at Three Star before that.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Sankata's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 5 matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
