Competition: Bahrain Premier League
Competition: Fri 13.March
Match begins: 15:30 (UTC)

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.
