After four games we know a little more about the qualities of Manama and Malkiya in this fresh Premier League season. Read our match preview!
- Malkiya has the most conceded goals (10) in Premier League
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Malkiya have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Manama form and stats
Manama have only played one Premier League game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat from 9 matches.
Manama's last game was hosting Budaiya (placed 7th) and winning 1-0. Before that match, a win away at Muharraq.
Manama has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Malkiya form and stats
It's not happening yet for Malkiya on their Premier League travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Malkiya, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Budaiya game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. A depressing five defeats in a row for Malkiya in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Budaiya.
The attacking players of Malkiya have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 234 minutes.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Malkiya, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Muharraq (placed 5th). Prior to that match, the Malkiya manager A. Saleh Al Dakheel faced defeat when travelling to Al Riffa and losing 0-1.
Goals are few and far between in Malkiya's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. The Malkiya defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 9 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Manama won six, Malkiya won two and two draws. seven games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.Manama missing players
