Bahrain SC form and stats

Bahrain SC's struggle is real here at Al-Ahli Stadium with only 10 points collected from 10 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-1-6.

Bahrain SC's last game was hosting Sitra (placed 4th) and winning 1-0. A big relief, as that was the first three points in the league after playing, but not winning, seven games in a row.

Ahead of that match, Bahrain lost 1-4 at home to Al-Hidd.

Bahrain SC are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 10 games. Bahrain SC have conceded 16 from these games.

Sitra form and stats

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 6 wins, 3 draws and only 0 losses in the Premier League.

Sitra lost away at Bahrain SC (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Al Budaiya.

Sitra are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 16 times in 9 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Sitra as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Sitra - Bahrain SC 1-0 was the end result in these squads' latest h2h match, earlier this season. Statistics for the former ten meetings between these two contenders are: three wins for Bahrain, five draws and two wins for Sitra. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
