Insights:
  • Brothers Union have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
  • Baridhara have the most dropped points from leading position (17) in Premier League

It's no vacation for neither Brothers nor Baridhara 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.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Brothers Union form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Brothers Union have only managed 1 win, 1 draw and 6 losses from their games here at Bangabandhu National Stadium. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Brothers with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Arambagh game, 69 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Brothers Union manager R. Parkas might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Prior to that, an away loss at Abahani.

Brothers were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Brothers are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Brothers are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (18 from 8 played).

Baridhara form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Baridhara so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-5 (win-draw-lose). Three has not been a lucky number for Baridhara as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Sheikh Russel match. Baridhara seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Baridhara have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 8 goals have been scored. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Baridhara, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

Brothers and Baridhara have met before this season: Baridhara - Brothers Union 3-3. Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Brothers, two draws and one win for Baridhara. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: one game.
