Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Burgan in 9th and Al Sahel in 8th place.
The hosts Burgan saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Premier League. That game was an away game at Kazma, so at least Burgan are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Burgan form and stats
Burgan 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.
Burgan travelled for their previous game, a trip to Kazma that ended 1-1. Ahead of that match, Burgan lost 0-1 at home to Al Tadhamon.
Burgan have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.
Al Sahel form and stats
2-0-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Al Sahel in their Premier League matches away. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Al Sahel are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Sahel, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Al Arabi (placed 6th). Before that, Sahel secured a home win against Khaitan with the score 3-0.
Sahel are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 7 times in 4 away games so far. Sahel's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 7 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Last nine meetings between the teams: Burgan won two, Al Sahel won five and two draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, six matches with two goals or less.Burgan missing players
