Saham form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Saham so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-6 (win-draw-lose). Saham are desperate to end a 18-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Al Seeb fixture.

The attacking players of Saham have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 189 minutes. Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Saham goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 256 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Saham delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Bahla (placed 11th) in their previous game.

A 0-0 draw at Al-Ittihad's stadium before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Saham are hosting Dhofar in the Professional League only four days away.

The attacking power of Saham when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 8 league matches away. For Saham, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
