Saif form and stats
Saif have played three Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Saif, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
A good away victory last time out for Saif, who won 3-2 against Arambagh (placed 13th). Preceding that match was the home game against Sheikh Jamal that was lost 2-3.
The manager P. Put will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Abahani in only three days.
The Saif fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Saif have conceded 5 from these games.
