Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Busaiteen languishing in the 8th position so far. The guesting Al-Najma will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither Busaiteen nor Al-Najma as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Al-Najma have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Busaiteen form and stats
Busaiteen's results here in the Premier League have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 3 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Busaiteen with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Al Hala game, 82 days ago, have they avoided a loss. With Busaiteen having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager M. Eid.
The Busaiteen crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Muharraq here in a Premier League match. Preceding that match was the home game against Al-Hidd that was lost 0-3.
The Busaiteen fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 6 matches. Busaiteen have conceded 10 from these games.
Al-Najma form and stats
Playing away, Al-Najma have won 0 games, drawn 2 and suffered 3 defeats in the Premier League this season.
Two away games in a row for Al-Najma, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Manama in the Premier League. That result followed a home victory 4-2 versus Al Riffa.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Al-Najma as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. Al-Najma have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
