Abahani have performed better than Saif so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:
- Abahani has the most scored goals in the first half (10) in Premier League
- Saif has the most points from losing position (6) in Premier League
It's no vacation for neither Abahani nor Saif 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.
Abahani form and stats
2-2-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Abahani so far this season. Abahani have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
Happy days for Abahani in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Arambagh (placed 13th) that ended with a 4-0 victory. In the match before that, Abahani hosted Sheikh Jamal and drew the game 2-2.
As mentioned above, Abahani "killed" Arambagh in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
There will be little rest for Abahani after this match as they are travelling to Sheikh Russel for a Premier League game in only four days.
The Abahani fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches. Abahani are not conceding a lot of goals here at Bangabandhu National Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 4 matches.
Saif form and stats
Saif are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 9 points in the bag from 3 travels in the Premier League.
Saif won their last game, 2-1 versus Sheikh Russel played at home. Prior to that result Saif won their away game at Arambagh. The scoreline was 3-2.
S. Rakhmatullaev came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Sheikh Russel last time out, making the manager P. Put feel like a tactical genius.
After this away game Saif return home for a Premier League game against Bashundhara Kings. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The Saif manager P. Put has got the team scoring on the road, with 7 away goals in 3 league matches. Saif have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Abahani, one draw and one win for Saif. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: one game.Top Goalscorers
