With the volatile opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Permier League Play-offs battle of the season. Al-Hidd look forward to welcoming Sitra in front of their home following.

Before that, Al-Hidd played out a Premier League draw 1-1 when visiting Al Ahli.

Let's have a look at how Sitra performed last season in the Second Division: They landed a 3rd position in the league table after playing out 8 victories, 5 draws and 5 defeats. In total they scored 28 and conceded 20 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 5 and lost 2 with 12/10 goals scored/conceded. The visitors settled for one point in their first Permier League Play-offs away game of the season. During their previous season 10 away games resulted in 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats. Visiting Sitra has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Al Ittifaq Maqaba.

It's early days yet, but Sitra has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
