The football year has been a rollercoaster for these squads so far, boom and bust giving mid-table places so far. Get set for Al Nasr - Sohar!
- Al Nasr have the most points from losing position (10) in Professional League
- Sohar have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Sohar, who are travelling more than 1100 kilometers to play this game.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Al Nasr and Sohar.
Al Nasr form and stats
The story so far in the Professional League for Al Nasr at their home stadium (Al-Saada Stadium) is 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat. Two home wins in a row for Al Nasr bring valid hopes of a third.
Nasr travelled for their previous game, a trip to Al-Nahda that ended 1-1.
Ahead of that match, Al Nasr won a home game hosting Saham (3-1).The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Al Nasr have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost two.
There will be little rest for Nasr after this match as they are travelling to Al-Ittihad for a Professional League game in only four days.
The Al Nasr fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. Al Nasr have only conceded 7 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Sohar form and stats
There's been little loot from Sohar's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 9 away games in the Professional League. Sohar only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws.
Sohar's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Bahla that finished 2-2. Drawing 2-2 against Bahla after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Al-Ittihad.Sohar are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, zero draws and two defeats. From a total of five matches.
A quick return to home after this game, as Sohar are hosting Dhofar in the Professional League only four days away.
The attacking power of Sohar when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 9 league matches away. Sohar struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 17 goals conceded from these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
Head 2 Head
The sides have played each other before in this season, with the final score Sohar - Nasr 0-0 written in the official records. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Al Nasr victories, five draws and two Sohar wins.
