Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Al-Hidd & Sitra face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Bahrain Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Al-Hidd form and stats
Al-Hidd was eliminated in the semi-finals last season in the Bahrain Cup.Al-Hidd have played 2 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Al-Hidd's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Al-Najma.
Prior to that, an away loss at Al Riffa in the Premier League.Early season league goal statistics from Al-Hidd's 2 home games: 1 goal, 2 conceded.
Sitra form and stats
They also participated in Bahrain Cup last season. This ended in the qualifying round.There's been little loot from Sitra's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 9 away games in the Premier League. Sitra only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. Two points from the last two away games for Sitra, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
Sitra's last game was the home draw against Al Ittihad (2-2).
A 0-1 loss hosting Al Ittifaq Maqaba before that.Sitra have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 9 goals have been scored. Sitra's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 15 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
