AFC Cup betting and spectator preview: Muharraq and Al Kuwait meet at Sheikh Ali bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Stadium to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
Muharraq form and stats
Last season their AFC Cup adventure ended in the group stage.Muharraq have played three Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. This match is a AFC Cup match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss in this competition. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Muharraq, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The Muharraq fans got no joy from their last match, a Premier League game also here at Sheikh Ali bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Khalidiya.
Previous to that game, a Bahrain Cup home match hosting Malkiya in a game that was won 3-1.Muharraq have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. 4 goals have been conceded.
