Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Bourj & Racing face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
These are busy days for the hometeam, as they played only three days ago in the FA Cup. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Bekaa Club.
Bourj form and stats
Bourj participated in FA Cup the last season, where they reached the semi-finals.Bourj have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Premier League. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
Bourj are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 241 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Mhana). Bourj are confident in defense, having played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Bourj drew their last game, 2-2 away at Bekaa Club.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Safa that finished 0-0.Bourj are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. Bourj are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Racing form and stats
They also participated in FA Cup last season. This ended in the semi-finals.There's been little loot from Racing's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 11 away games in the Premier League. Racing only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 4 draws.
Impressive finishing secured the home win 1-0 against Tripoli in their previous game.
A loss against Al Ahed was the result prior to that, in a FA Cup home game.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Racing as they have only managed to score 8 times from 11 away games in the league. Racing's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 17 goals from these trips.
