Competition: Hong Kong First Division
Date: Sun 31.March

It's an important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 13th place.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Mutual form and stats

The struggle is real here at Tin Yip Road Park with only 2 points collected from 9 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 0-2-7. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 15 attempts. With nine home games in a row without a win, the Mutual fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Shatin game long ago, can be stopped today.

Mutual lost their last game at Citizen AA (placed 8th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Shatin (0-1).

The lack of attacking qualities in Mutual means that they have only scored 2 goals in 9 home games, less than half a goal per match. Mutual's defense is seriously deficient as 28 goals have been conceded in these matches.
