Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Isa Town & Qalali face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Bahrain Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Isa Town form and stats
Last season their Bahrain Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.1-0-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Isa Town so far this season. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 14 attempts.
No payout for Isa Town in their previous match, an away game at Muharraq that ended in defeat 1-4.
Before that, Isa Town had a Bahrain Cup home game versus Al Tadamun Buri which ended with a victory 2-1.The lack of attacking qualities in Isa means that they have only scored 2 goals in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Isa with 9 goals conceded in these matches.
Qalali form and stats
Qalali's mission in Bahrain Cup last season failed in the 8th finals.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Qalali so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-5 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Qalali who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Manama was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Qalali play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-7 to Al-Hidd. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Al-Hidd was particularly ugly (0-7). The humiliation is still top of mind.
That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Al Ittihad in the Bahrain Cup.There's been a serious shortage of goals from Qalali's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 8 matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Qalali have conceded 14 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
