Only a few games have been played in the Premier League so far, with Busaiteen placed 6th and Al Hala sitting in the 9th position.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Busaiteen form and stats
Only two Premier League home games for Busaiteen so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
Busaiteen's previous game was a Premier League match also played at home, ending 3-2 versus Al Riffa (placed 10th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Busaiteen lost 1-2 at East Riffa's place.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Busaiteen at home in the league. 4 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Al Hala form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Premier League for Al Hala, who have the fewest scored goals (2) in Premier League, with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.
Al Hala has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Manama for a Premier League game that ended a draw (1-1). Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Muharraq's place.
The attacking power of Al Hala when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. The Al Hala manager has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 4 - 4 - 2 (Busaiteen wins - draws - Al Hala wins). As for goals, 5 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 5 had two or less.Busaiteen missing players
