Al-Rustaq form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Al-Rustaq's two home games in the Professional League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Ferdie Neita Sports Complex.
Al-Rustaq's previous game was a Sultan Cup match also played at home, ending 3-0 versus Quriyat. The home side are looking to build on that result. Al-Rustaq decided the match against Quriyat in the first half, and held firmly on to their lead (3-0) without using too much effort. The team showed great control while saving some energy.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Dhofar (0-4).It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Al-Rustaq at home in the league. 3 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Muscat form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Professional League for Muscat with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Professional League home defeat versus Oman Club with 2-3 on the scoreboard.
Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Nizwa.0 goals so far away for Muscat, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
