Saif form and stats

Saif's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Saif collect 16 points from their 8 away matches in the Premier League. 5 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 2 defeats). The fact that Saif have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

Prior to that result Saif won their away game at Sheikh Russel. The scoreline was 1-0.

The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Saif alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (25 from 8 played). Saif's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.
