Al Riffa form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Al Riffa's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Sheikh Ali bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Stadium.
Al Riffa enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Al-Hidd's place. The match ended 3-1.
In the game before, an away victory match versus Budaiya with a 2-0 scoreline.At Sheikh Ali bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Stadium, Al Riffa has the goal stats of 2-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Muharraq form and stats
Muharraq are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses).
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Muharraq goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 248 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
The regulars enjoyed Muharraq's previous game versus Budaiya (placed 12th), a 4-0 win played at home. As mentioned above, Muharraq was the only team on the pitch versus Budaiya in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
A 0-0 draw at Bahrain SC's stadium before that.The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Muharraq defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average ({1 goals} in 3 games).
