Budaiya form and stats

Budaiya have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-1-5 (7 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Budaiya's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Budaiya won their last game, 2-0 versus East Riffa played at home.

Prior to that match, the Budaiya manager faced defeat when travelling to Khalidiya and losing 1-4.

The visitors have scored 4 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Budaiya's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

This isn't the first time these parties meet this season, as the history books show this recent fixture: Hala - Budaiya 2-1. Head-2-head stats last five meetings: three - two - zero (Al Hala wins - draws - Budaiya wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
