Sohar form and stats
It's not happening yet for Sohar on their Professional League travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three consecutive losses in away matches means Sohar are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
W. Al-Maliki was the last player to score for the away team. Sohar haven't scored a league goal in the last 206 minutes.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Professional League home defeat versus Al-Nahda with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Sohar manager faced defeat when travelling to Al Nasr and losing 0-2.
Goals are few and far between in Sohar's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. The Sohar manager has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
