Budaiya form and stats

2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Budaiya playing as the away team this season. Recent form does not give Budaiya much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Al-Hidd will be a tough nut to crack. 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 play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-4 to Al-Najma. A 1-3 defeat away at Al Shabbab Manama before that.

Budaiya are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 7 games. Budaiya have conceded 12 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Budaiya - Al-Hidd 2-1. Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: 1 win for Al-Hidd, 0 draws and 1 win for Budaiya.
