The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Al Nasr are in the 7th position while the guests worry at 11th.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Muscat have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Al Nasr form and stats
2-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Professional League numbers at home for Al Nasr so far this season.
The Al Nasr crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Al-Rustaq here at Al-Saada Stadium in a Professional League match. Before that match, a win away at Al-Nahda.
Al Nasr are traveling soon after this match as the Professional League match at Sohar awaits in four days.
The Al Nasr fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 7 goals in 4 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.
Muscat form and stats
Playing away, Muscat have won 1 game, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Professional League this season.
Muscat failed to get anything from their last game, a Professional League home match vs Dhofar (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 0-1. Before that, Muscat travelled to Sohar and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Muscat manager as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Al Seeb.
Muscat have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 4 away games in the league. Muscat have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
