Season ticket holders at Ferdie Neita Sports Complex haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Al Suwaiq languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting Bahla will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Suwaiq and Bahla.

Al Suwaiq form and stats

Al Suwaiq have played 12 Professional League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-1-5 (wins-draws-losses).

Preceding that match was the home game against Al Oruba that was lost 0-1.

As mentioned above, Suwaiq "killed" Mrbat in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Suwaiq are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 12 games. Suwaiq's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 12 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Bahla form and stats

Bahla have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Professional League, after 1-7-4 (12 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Bahla's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Bahla goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 228 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Bahla have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 13 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 16 goals have been conceded by Bahla in these games.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Bahla - Suwaiq 1-2. As for the last three games between these two teams, there's two Suwaiq victories, one draw and zero Bahla wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, zero matches with two goals or less.
