Baridhara form and stats

Baridhara's struggle is real here at Sheikh Fazlul Haque Mani Stadium with only 8 points collected from 9 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-5-3. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Sheikh Fazlul Haque Mani Stadium, but a victory now would be sweet for Baridhara.

The spoils were shared in Baridhara's previous game, also at home. Visiting Abahani Chittagong (placed 7th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Abahani Chittagong last time out, but a goal from Hossain completed a comeback to a draw result for Baridhara. Hossain was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Abahani Chittagong after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

Prior to that, an away loss at Mohammedan Dhaka.

Baridhara have scored 7 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 11 goals have been conceded.
