There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Brothers Union form and stats
There's been little loot from Brothers Union's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 10 away games in the Premier League. Brothers Union only have 0 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Brothers, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Muktijoddha SKC (placed 11th). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Muktijoddha SKC was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
A loss against Abahani Chittagong was the result prior to that, in a home game.The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Premier League trip to Arambagh.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Brothers Union as they have only managed to score 6 times from 10 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Brothers manager R. Parkas has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.
