It's still early in the Professional League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Saham - Al-Musannah preview!

Saham and Al-Musannah should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Saham form and stats

Saham's first Professional League home game here at Sohar Regional Sports Complex ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats from 13 matches.

This is expected to be a close game, with Saham perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Saham as a small favourite), we find nine games. Saham has won five of these, drawn three and lost one.

Saham has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Al-Musannah form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first Professional League away game of the season. During their previous season 13 away games resulted in 3 wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-4 defeat against Al Seeb.

0 goals so far away for Al-Musannah, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last eight meetings): Saham won five games, zero matches ended with a draw and Al-Musannah has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / five
